If anxiety, OCD, or trauma have left you feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone—and things can get better! As a clinician with extensive training, I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, as well as skin picking (Excoriation) and trichotillomania. I help clients challenge the thoughts and behaviors that steal their confidence and hope. Therapy doesn’t have to feel too clinical—we’ll work together using evidence-based tools and genuine connection to help you feel grounded, capable, and back in charge of your life.
I specialize in CBT and ERP to treat anxiety, OCD, and related disorders. I work to empower clients to push back against anxiety’s demands and reclaim a sense of control. I believe that understanding the cycles at work is key to change. That’s why I incorporate psychoeducation throughout our work—to help you feel informed, equipped, and truly supported.
Taking the step to seek help is powerful, and you deserve a life that feels freer and fuller! I take a direct yet empathetic approach, using lightheartedness and humor to make therapy feel safe and real. You’ll be heard, supported, and encouraged to take brave steps toward positive change. I’m excited to partner with you on this journey of lasting growth!
