I am passionate about supporting a variety of ages from children, adolescents, and young adults through challenges like anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, panic disorder and life transitions. I know how overwhelming big feelings and life changes can be, and I'm here to help you feel seen, heard, and supported.
I create a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself. Therapy is a place for growth, exploration, and deeper self-understanding. Drawing from CBT and Play Therapy, I work with you to build coping skills, boost self-esteem, and thrive with empathy, respect, and warmth.

OCD can leave you stuck in patterns that don’t respond to logic, no matter how hard you try. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, this is a place to slow things down and get clear. Together, we will name what is happening in your mind and learn new ways to relate to uncertainty, reducing the pull toward rituals and avoidance over time. No matter the theme - contamination, harm to self or others, sexual obsessions, relationship OCD, or “just right” feelings - we focus on changing the underlying cycle that has taken hold.

Do you find yourself on autopilot or struggling just to get by? Many of my clients feel stuck—going through the motions, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. You may be navigating trauma, relationship struggles, or a major life transition and wondering why things still feel so hard. In our work, we slow down and get curious about what’s underneath. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where we can explore your story, deepen self-understanding, and build new ways of relating—to yourself and others—so you can move forward with more clarity, choice, and ease.

At Create Outcomes, we help people overcome anxiety, depression, loss, and relational difficulties. Our approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means we will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be. We utilize LifeMaps, a collaborative treatment plan where you can track progress and see your therapy notes. The Map is your treatment plan translated from clinical terms to language that better represents the work we do.
