They want a space where they can be their full, unfiltered selves, without judgment or the need to mask. Their goal is to find relief, clarity, and self-acceptance while building tools to navigate life in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

This includes healing experiences of medical trauma, physical/emotional abuse, addiction, or family disconnection.

Let's work together to empower you, your child or your family to disempower anxiety.
When you or your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD, it can feel overwhelming and disrupt daily life. As a specialist in treating anxiety disorders and OCD, I provide a supportive environment with practical tools to manage symptoms and break unhelpful patterns. I am a SPACE-trained provider and have experience treating children, teens, and adults struggling with worry, avoidance, panic, intrusive thoughts and compulsions. SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is one of my favorite approaches for childhood anxiety—it’s short-term, parent-focused, and empowers caregivers to lead the change.

I'm licensed in AZ and ME and have training in Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Focusing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I'm here to help you access and build relationships with the inner wisdom within you. This is not something we have to ‘create.’ Rather, your inner teacher is something that can emerge once we figure out what is blocking it. Usually, our thoughts, stories, and past wounding keep us a little removed from our body and wisdom. Together we will explore cognitive and somatic techniques to help these inner blockages move and transform, so that you can once again feel connected to you, your highest self, and your community.
