Great to meet you!

Are you feeling stuck in your compulsions and overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts? Welcome! You have found a safe place to explore, grow, and heal. I am passionate about working with those experiencing OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma-Related distress and dysfunction. I work to create meaningful and sustainable change both inside and outside of the therapy office. Walking alongside clients as they discover their own resiliency and “why” for embracing discomfort in a safe and supportive environment is my goal. I am affirming of all LGBTQIA+ folks and am passionate about providing care to our community!

My approach to therapy

Fancy letters next to my name include certification in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for OCD and Anxiety Disorders. What does this mean for you? We will compassionately work to build up your tolerance and resilience to those scary thoughts and images so that you can build a fulfilling and joy-filled life!

What you can expect from me

Ready to begin your mental health journey? In our first session we will review clinic policies, identify your goals for our work together, and begin to dive deeper into your story at a pace that feels compassionate and safe.
