I provide therapy for adults and couples seeking thoughtful, effective support for anxiety, life controlling issues, mood concerns, and relational challenges. Some clients come with a clear sense of what they want to address, often tied to a specific stressor such as a life transition, relationship difficulty, or crisis. Others arrive without a defined “problem,” but with a sense that something feels off or no longer sustainable. Therapy offers a structured, collaborative space to address both immediate concerns and the underlying patterns shaping emotional and relational experiences.

You tend to overthink. You often feel tense. You don't know how to turn your brain "off". You’re high-functioning on the outside but feel exhausted on the inside.
Anxiety, rumination, self-doubt, and emotional overload tend to show up quietly, but they take a real toll on your focus, relationships, and self-worth. Therapy can help.
My approach is pretty simple: I'm a person first, therapist second. I don't offer clichés or surface-level advice. My approach is real, warm, and collaborative. I pull from ACT, CBT, and DBT to help you better understand your mind. I accept most major insurances and respond fast.

As a mother of 5 children with a Master's degree in Child & Adolescent Developmental Psychology and a Ph.D. in Metaphysics & Transpersonal Counseling, my approach is very holistic. My eclectic approach utilizes the hands-on experience of having had a child with autism (who is now 23 and autistic free!). Behavior is a language - what is it "saying?" is my approach. With this approach, we can help the child and family to heal and deal with the issues differently. My intention is to provide a safe space for healing to begin.

I'm specially trained in OCD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which I practice gently and at your pace, not fast or all at once.
You don't need to have a diagnosis, the right words, or a plan for what to say to start therapy. I work best with adults who are new to this, tried therapy once and it didn't click, or just take longer to open up. Many come in with a feeling more than a label: thoughts that loop and won't quiet down, eating that happens faster than they can catch it, or a sense of always being a step behind. Together we slow down, name what's actually happening, and build a plan paced to you, so therapy starts working instead of feeling like one more thing you're failing at. Reaching out is often the hardest part, I'd be happy to help.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
