My clients are people who often feel stuck in their thoughts, whether those thoughts are anxious, self-critical, perfectionistic, or filled with doubt. They might be struggling with OCD, social anxiety, phobias, trauma, or just the overwhelming pressure to always get things “right.” My clients come from a variety of background and identities. They want relief, but not just a quick fix. They’re looking to better understand themselves, break free from rigid patterns, and move toward a life that feels more connected, meaningful, and aligned.
I treat anxiety, OCD, phobias, trauma and related concerns using evidence-based approaches. Our work is collaborative, focused, and compassionate. I’ll be direct when needed, silly when it helps, and always attuned to what you need to move forward with tools that are practical, sometimes fun, and tailored to you.
You don’t have to keep struggling alone. Therapy can help you feel more connected, less stuck, and more like yourself. If you’re ready to try something different, with support, humor, and real tools, I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s take that next step together.

Let's be real. You don't need to know all of this jargon to benefit from therapy. I'm enough of a therapy nerd to educate you on it, if you wish. Otherwise, let's be present and do the work together.
