I help those feeling stuck in cycles of obsessive thinking that haven't improved with typical things like thought-challenging, mindfulness, or distraction. Many people I work with are capable and competent, but secretly struggle with intrusive thinking, and are wondering whether their experiences are consistent with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). If my profile resonates with you, chances are you have been struggling with intrusive ruminating, worrying, or panic for years. You feel exhausted by your inner experiences, or fear that you might eventually "go crazy".

I specialize in treating OCD, compulsive overthinking, and anxiety disorders, with a particular focus in supporting high-pressure professionals and parents. I have 10+ years' experience in mental health, and have successfully helped many people overcome intrusive thinking and panic using clinical, evidence-based therapy. My approach is warm and authentic.

I respect the complexity of the human mind, and I don’t shy away from scary or taboo thinking. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, or suspect that what you're experiencing is different than "general anxiety", reach out today for a free consultation. We’ll discuss how research-based therapy can help you reclaim your life!
