If your brain keeps pulling you into mental loops until you “figure it out” or things feel “just right,” I’m glad you’re here. You might find yourself Googling questions or turning to others for reassurance, only to feel brief relief before the doubt creeps back in. I’m willing to bet you’re responsible and driven, but inside you’re often exhausted from fighting your own mind. I specialize in OCD and anxiety in teens and young adults, using ERP, the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Book your free consultation on my website!
I work with teens and young adults struggling with OCD and anxiety. Using ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), we gradually face fears without the compulsions keeping the cycle going. I’m collaborative, strengths-based, and a little funny (at least I think so!). I also work with parents and other providers.
If you’re feeling stuck and ready for support, we should chat. I’m a laid-back therapist who brings warmth, gentle challenge, and a bit of humour to each session. My approach is grounded in curiosity and courage, because getting unstuck takes both. Book a free consultation to see if I’m the right fit for you, or the young person in your life!

Before becoming a therapist, I worked across healthcare and social services, as a pharmacy assistant, medical office assistant, and youth outreach worker. That background shapes how I collaborate with providers and understand the systems families navigate.

I work with teens and young adults struggling with OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, and spiraling thoughts. My approach is grounded in the research; I use ERP (the gold-standard treatment for OCD), CBT, and ACT, because you deserve support that's backed by evidence. In early sessions we identify what's keeping you stuck and build a plan together. Most clients notice meaningful shifts within weeks.

I use ERP, CBT, and ACT because the evidence behind them is strong — and because they've worked for me personally. There's something special about offering approaches you've experienced yourself. They're collaborative, future-focused, and goal-oriented, which means we spend less time talking about problems and more time actually moving forward.
