Hello and welcome! Sometimes our lives are stable; however, there are times where we are suddenly confronted with traumatic experiences or losses, such as health problems (dx. of cancer or terminal illnesses), the death of a loved one, separation of the family, loss of work, problems with our children, or academic struggles. These situations can make us feel unsure of our own capacities and emotional strengths which can lead to increased vulnerability, and can cause us to start experiencing high levels of depression and anxiety, or other emotional pain/fears.

We all know the feeling of being "stuck" at different points in life, and it takes courage to ask for support when moving forward feels difficult. If this is where you find yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you on that journey. I genuinely value the process of working with individuals who are seeking meaningful change—in their behaviors, relationships, and the way they navigate life’s challenges.

I believe that the power of therapy comes through the understanding of how self defeating patterns of behavior interfere with our ability to have a happy and productive life. I believe that focusing and building on our strengths will enhance our functioning. Examining our behavior is critical to developing healthy options for ourselves and in our relationships. Through an open and respectful process we will examine the areas in your life that have interfered with your ability to make positive, forward thinking choices. As you develop different coping strategies the hope of change will support healing and growth.

I believe that we are all wired towards growth. Sometimes life's events, our environment or circumstances get in the way of us accessing our inner resources and realizing our potential. Adverse life experiences can lead to symptoms that may have been necessary at one time to help us survive, but get in the way as our circumstances change. Together we can work to identify and work through barriers to peace and contentment. I bring a wealth of experience and training in several evidence-based treatment models. However, I understand the importance of tailoring therapeutic techniques to the unique needs of each individual.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, grief, ADHD, addiction, or an unexpected life transition, you deserve a space where you feel safe, understood, and genuinely supported. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within a trusting relationship. I meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels supportive, steady, and empowering. I believe growth begins when we feel truly heard. When your story is acknowledged, and your struggles are met with compassion, meaningful change becomes possible.

In therapy sessions, I work with clients to help teach the skills needed to manage, squash, or move on from anxious or intrusive thoughts now and long after we end our time together. You will learn how to become “your own therapist” by learning how to spot anxious or intrusive thoughts and learning EXACTLY what to do, proactively and in-the-moment, to stop them from taking over and keeping you from enjoying life. Clients come to me to for difficulties related to OCD, anxiety, phobias, panic, ADHD, and parent/partner management/support for loved ones with OCD, and perinatal/postpartum anxiety/OCD.
