Great to meet you! I believe mental health care is most effective when it is built on a foundation of mutual respect, active listening, and genuine support. In my practice, I specialize in working with adults navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and major life transitions. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, so I prioritize a relationship where you feel heard not just as a patient, but as a person.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I take a compassionate, whole-person approach. I’m not here to treat just symptoms. I want to understand you. That means looking at your mind, body, stressors, routines, relationships, and everything that shapes your daily life.

I believe care works best when we do it together. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping for and build a plan that fits your needs, whether that includes medication, therapy support, or practical day-to-day strategies. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and steadier as you move forward.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Maplewood, NJ and the founder of canyons therapy. I can see clients who live in New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I am a recovering perfectionist, anxious mom, and lover of a slow-paced life. In session, you will find me casually dressed, warm beverage in-hand, and ready to hold space for your most imperfect self. Outside of session, I’m wrangling my young kids and doing my best to embrace our chaos. I enjoy being in nature, watching the latest documentary, and curating mood-setting playlists.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Westport

Finding the right OCD therapist in Westport starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some providers use specialized approaches — particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — so a provider's experience with these methods may be worth considering as you explore care options with a qualified professional. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in the Westport or broader Fairfield County area, or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better.

Therapy in Westport and surrounding towns in Connecticut can be expensive, especially for specialized care. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most direct ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, the populations they work with, and whether they feel like a good match. Many providers on Headway also offer a free phone consultation, so you can ask questions about their experience with OCD and get a sense of their style before committing to a full session.
