Are you struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, anxiety, perfectionism, or a phobia that’s keeping you from living life on your own terms? Do you feel stuck in your own mind—overthinking, second-guessing, or constantly trying to get things “just right”—only to feel exhausted and overwhelmed by daily life? You don’t have to stay trapped in this cycle. I help older teens and adults who are ready to stop accommodating their OCD, anxiety, phobias, or perfectionism, and start living with more freedom and confidence. Therapy is a space where we can gently but purposefully work toward change.
Our sessions will be collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based care. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for OCD. I tailor treatment to help you build trust in yourself, loosen unhelpful patterns, and face the unknown.
I am accepting new clients in Massachusetts (in-person & virtual), Maine (virtual), and Connecticut (virtual). If you’re motivated for change but unsure where to start, we’ll take this one step at a time—together. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out. Let’s chat!

At the end of the day, research shows that your relationship with your therapist is the most important therapeutic factor. That being said, I primarily use ERP, I-CBT, and ACT for clients stuck in OCD and anxiety. I integrate additional approaches as appropriate for you as a unique individual. No matter what, a little laughter is a given.
