My work is shaped by my training and experience. I specialize in adults and adolescents/pre-teens who suffer with OCD and anxiety disorders such as panic attacks, hair pulling, skin picking, general/social anxiety, agoraphobia, and other phobias. While OCD/anxiety is my primary specialty, it often occurs with other issues such as depression, life changes/transitions, like divorce, pregnancy, work or school, all of which can be difficult to face without help. When we suffer from anxiety based issues, we can often miss or lose the joy that is present in our lives. I am here to help you get your life back from the grips of OCD/anxiety.

I work with individuals ages 12 and up, regardless of background, gender, or race. I work specifically with individuals who present with behavioral issues, mental health problems, emotional problems, low self-esteem, anger issues, and/or phase of life problems. If your goal is to learn healthy and effective ways to understand your teen's behavioral and emotional problems and decrease problems in your home and/or school environment, I can help. If your goal is to learn how to express your feelings, manage your depression and/or anxiety, address past traumatic life events, and/or overcome difficult life situations, I can help.

In life one will encounter many challenges and obstacles. Support can differ for each individual as change is inevitable.
