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.

As a therapist, I specialize in treating individuals who are facing many of these overlapping issues and feel caught between anxiety, OCD, and trauma.
In our work together, we’ll start to untangle strategies that once helped you survive (or may still provide temporary relief) but don’t result in you feeling grounded and secure. We will also gently explore your past and navigate the impact it has on the present, processing those experiences that have been personally disruptive.

I am certified in Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, trauma trained with EMDR, offer individual DBT, and provide brain rehab-coaching for the neurodivergent ("spicy" or injured).
My approach is Everything is connected - life, learning, and healing. Once you identify and master the connections that work for you, then the doing just makes sense, and you move forward with new life practices. My clients heal painful past experiences with current awareness, start trusting & caring for themselves, learn how to identify & break from toxic relationships while developing healthy ones, establish skills & routines to improve follow-through, gain emotion regulation, build confidence in problem-solving/ decision-making, and overcome harmful thoughts and behavior patterns.

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.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, disconnected from their body, and tired of pushing through life on autopilot. They may be anxious, emotionally sensitive, or stuck in old patterns that don’t reflect who they truly are. They need grounding, clarity, and a sense of inner safety. Their goal is to feel regulated, confident, and aligned — to trust themselves again. They want relief, but more than that, they want to feel whole, empowered, and deeply connected to their intuition and purpose.

My belief is that therapy is a collaborative process that includes integration of culture, values, and morals for couples and families.
