Anxiety can leave you feeling stuck in life—and the harder you try to get unstuck, the more trapped you may feel. From the outside, others might see you as having it all together, but inside you may feel exhausted by the constant effort it takes to function. As a licensed clinical psychologist with over fifteen years of experience, I specialize in helping clients break free from patterns that are keeping them stuck. I enjoy treating obsessive-compulsive disorders (including body-focused repetitive behaviors), ADHD, anxiety, and depression, particularly when other therapies haven't been helpful.
Because every brain works differently, I see therapy as a collaboration. My approach integrates evidence-based, active, change-oriented therapies—especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP)—to help you get unstuck from unhelpful cycles of thought and behavior and live with more meaning and purpose.
I work to create a space that’s both supportive and active, so that we can safely explore the ways your thoughts and behaviors may be helping you—or keeping you stuck—and develop practical strategies to respond more effectively. I strive to be genuine and transparent in my approach. If this feels like a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.

I specialize in OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression symptoms that may have been resistant to past treatments. My goal is to help you work with, not against, your brain so you can engage more meaningfully with your day-to-day experience. Together, we'll design exercises you can use between sessions so you can strengthen skills, apply them in real life, and build lasting ways to manage symptoms.

Early sessions focus on identifying how anxiety quietly drives decision-making and pulls you away from what truly matters, even when things may appear to be going well from the outside. The goal isn't just to cope more efficiently, but to create a life that feels purposeful, sustainable, and less governed by internal pressure.
