Starting therapy can feel a bit like finally opening that storage space you've been avoiding. It's full of things you've been meaning to sort through. Some of it makes sense, some of it feels overwhelming, and some of it leaves you wondering how it ended up there in the first place.
I work with people stuck in patterns of anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, burnout, stress, and overthinking. Together, we'll sort through the clutter, make sense of what's keeping you stuck, and create more space for what matters most to you.
If you're ready, we can start with a conversation about what's going on now and what you'd like to be different.

Many of my clients are exhausted by the mental loop: replaying conversations, weighing every angle, bracing for what might go wrong. Anxiety ends up running the show, shrinking life down to what feels safe. Therapy can help you trust your judgment again, decide without the tug-of-war, show up more in your relationships, and say yes to things you'd normally talk yourself out of.

Using EMDR, I help people process difficult experiences that continue to affect how they feel, relate to others, and see themselves. For OCD, I use ERP to help people respond differently to intrusive thoughts, uncertainty, and compulsive urges. For anxiety and stress, I help people move beyond survival mode and reconnect with the people, activities, and goals that matter most.
