Great to meet you!

I work with adults, teens, and families experiencing anxiety, OCD, phobias, and patterns of overthinking that feel hard to break. Many clients come to me feeling stuck, frustrated, or worn down by symptoms that interfere with daily life, relationships, or confidence.

My approach to therapy

My approach is structured, collaborative, and practical. I specialize in evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT). Sessions are active and goal-focused, with an emphasis on building skills you can use outside of therapy to respond differently to fear, uncertainty, and distress.

What you can expect from me

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and grounding. I aim to create a supportive space while also helping clients move forward with clarity and intention. We work together to increase flexibility, reduce avoidance, and build trust in your ability to handle difficult thoughts and feelings.
