You may feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, OCD, overthinking, depression, trauma, or relationship stress and want more than just a space to vent. You are looking for therapy that is structured, intentional, and collaborative. You value clear goals, practical tools, and a therapist who respects your lived experience. You may also want space to explore how identity, stress, or past experiences have shaped your mental health. You are ready for focused, evidence-based care that leads to real, lasting change.
I provide structured, goal-oriented therapy using CBT, DBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety and OCD. Together, we will reduce compulsions, build tolerance for uncertainty, and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, improve relationships, and create lasting change.
I believe therapy should feel collaborative, respectful, and focused on real progress. My goal is to help you feel understood while also making meaningful change. I am currently accepting new clients, and you can reach out to schedule or learn more about services through ARCS Institute.
