I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the often overwhelming weight of major life transitions. Many of the clients I support are moving through forms of grief that aren’t always recognized—what I think of as non-linear grief. This can show up after the loss of a relationship, shifts in family dynamics, growing up in or untangling the impact of alcohol or substance use in the family, changes in health, or unexpected career and financial challenges. Even when a loss isn’t traditionally acknowledged, the life you imagined may have changed—and that deserves space and care.

In relationships, divorce or tough transitions in life, it’s easy to live in your head-overthinking, replaying the past, or fearing the future-while your BODY holds all the tension. I help you connect and notice where stress lives in your body, release it, and rewire old mental patterns that keep you stuck in your head. Together, we’ll work on regulating your nervous system so you can face tough transitions with greater ease, clarity, and self-compassion. You’ll learn to respond rather than react, view challenges from a new perspective, and create space for joy, connection, and the life you truly want to live.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of OCD, skin-picking disorder, and hair-pulling disorder and anxiety disorders (including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, healthy anxiety, and agoraphobia). I also treat trauma disorders, sleep disorders, and tics disorders. I have treated some of the most severe and treatment-resistant cases of OCD and other anxiety disorders at the residential and partial hospitalization levels, which has given me the tools to more effectively treat these conditions in traditional outpatient therapy.

Life is full of uncertainty and challenges and sometimes our usual coping, resources, and knowledge are not enough to help manage these situations. We might notice an increase in worry, distress, sadness, grief, or relational conflict that appear to have no resolution. Sometimes we experience abrupt and traumatic situations that leave us feeling unsafe, disoriented, and confused by our emotional and physiological responses. Any of these experiences can be overwhelming, but a supportive therapeutic relationship combined with empirically based treatments can be helpful in managing the situations and finding resolutions.
