While I have training in a variety of modalities (EMDR, Sand tray, I-CBT, ERP, KAP) I recognize that a therapist showing up as human can be incredibly helpful in itself.
I find that my favorite parts of therapy are unconventional. I love when a client tells me they didn't want to come to session but they show up anyway, and leave feeling like it was one of their best. I love when a client brings up decreasing to biweekly sessions, after recognizing they've gained genuine support outside of the therapy space and feel confident in managing between sessions. I love when a client comes in and talks about "random things" they've done and I get to see their passion. (Bonus points when I get to point out how that "random thing" actually demonstrates them getting closer to the life they want to live!).

If you're a woman who constantly overthinks, struggles to relax, or feels like you're carrying the weight of everyone else's needs, you're not alone. Many of the women I work with appear successful and capable on the outside but feel anxious, exhausted, and overwhelmed beneath the surface. They often struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, relationship challenges, family stress, self-worth, and difficulty setting boundaries without guilt. Some are also working through trauma, body image concerns, or patterns that leave them feeling stuck and disconnected from themselves.

If you are feeling stressed about life, worried about the future, stuck in the past, or focused on failure, I can help you find the peace you are seeking.

Accepting New Clients- My ideal client feels stuck in patterns of depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, trauma memories, or painful relationship dynamics.

Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices. This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviors that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioral therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioral change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
