OCD doesn't feel like anxiety — it feels like responsibility.
I specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Our work focuses on changing how you respond to intrusive thoughts, so they lose their power. Rather than trying to think your way out of the cycle, we build your capacity to tolerate uncertainty so the thoughts stop running the show.

You’re ambitious, driven, and constantly striving for more, but the pressure to succeed can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re stuck overthinking, battling self-doubt, or struggling to balance it all. Perhaps you are feeling stuck while navigating intense pressure from both internal expectations and family dynamics. Maybe you want to feel more grounded and confident. I help high achievers manage anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure so they can break free from stress, build resilience, and create a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with their goals.

Tired of feeling like your own worst critic? I'm a therapist for overthinkers, and I help high achievers who look like they have it all together on the outside, but are secretly exhausted by non-stop anxiety, perfectionism, and the pressure to please everyone else. When your mind is constantly predicting worst-case scenarios, holding you to impossible standards, or replaying conversations to ensure you didn't mess up, life becomes completely overwhelming. You don't have to keep living on high alert just to prove your worth.

I understand firsthand how anxiety, obsessive thinking, and unresolved trauma can shape the way we show up for ourselves.
With over a decade of experience, I blend practical tools with deeper inner work to uncover the emotional patterns keeping you stuck. My style is warm, collaborative and highly attuned. Clients often tell me they feel deeply understood, and that our sessions offer both insight and a bit of well-timed humor, which brings some helpful comic relief.

I’m a counselor who works with adult clients with anxiety, OCD, and PTSD symptoms.
Anxiety is an exhausting cycle. Negative thoughts, feelings, and memories are natural parts of being a human being, but they don’t have to control your life or take away from what is truly meaningful to you. I believe that having a space to explore your feelings in an open, non-judgmental environment can relieve some of the pressure and make it possible to invest time and effort into what you truly care about. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety and intrusive thoughts effectively, your life can become much richer and more meaningful.

My specialty areas include OCD and anxiety disorders; however, I have years of experience treating a broad range of difficulties.
I believe that this life is meant to be lived fully and freely in every moment. It is a simple concept, but sometimes so difficult to experience as our thoughts keep us held in the past or our fears spiral us into the future. You may feel completely trapped in a cycle of unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and sense you're losing control. Sometimes we struggle getting lost in heartache or pain and forget what life can look like on the other side. I have a genuine passion for coming alongside each person to help rediscover a full and free life with all of its wonders and difficulties.

I know what helps anxiety and OCD, and I know what makes it worse.
Feeling worried much of the time, having panic attacks, and feeling so overwhelmed by your thoughts can be exhausting. My clients often find themselves in this loop of having debilitating thoughts, needing to get rid of them, keeping track of what triggers anxiety so they can avoid it, and yet the worry seems to grow even stronger. And eventually, they are beyond frustrated that these worries seem to be taking over their life. Some thoughts can be about contamination or health, fear of harming others, anxiety related to social situations or morality. Whatever it is, the fears interfere with what's most important to them.

As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, I have years of experience working with teens, adults, and families struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, poor body image, trauma, and OCD.
Finding a therapist can be a daunting and overwhelming process. Then add the other mental challenges, barriers to treatment, and stigma, and it makes sense why it is hard to ask for help. Mental health concerns affect people from every culture and intersectional identity. Throughout my fourteen years of experience, I've discovered how each client is unique and when treated with their cultural/identity needs as a roadmap in the treatment plan, they can recover and thrive more quickly.
