Sometimes it feels like our mind won’t shut off. One thought turns into 10, and before we know it we’ve spent more time than we wanted going down the mental rabbit hole. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety, and Phobias often take up space rent free in our mind making us act or behave a certain way to feel better. This tiring upkeep can make it feel like we're dragging through life, carrying a heavy weight, out of control, or that we're wearing a mask. In moments like these a helping hand is sometimes all we need to regain control over our lives.
Like the name of my practice, I believe individuals are also capable of blooming throughout even the most difficult of circumstances. During our sessions together we will work to help you gain the skills needed to turn down the volume on the thoughts, face your fears, and become the driver of your own bus again.
As a therapist it is my goal to help individuals have a better understanding of themselves, create their own toolbox of skills, and feel confident in moving through life. Feel free to reach out to schedule a free consultation by visiting my website or by calling me. I look forward to seeing you embrace life as you want it.

In my 7 years of practice, I have learned the importance of taking a holistic approach instead of just treating a certain part or symptom.

In session we will create an action plan where we actively face things we tend to avoid. With the help of other modalities such as ERP, ACT, and DBT we will improve our ability to handle strong emotions, deal with crises, and improve our relationship with others and ourselves. This will require work on both of our parts, as just as any skill we must practice it in order to use it.

When treating OCD, anxiety, and phobias I use exposure therapies where we work on gradually facing things that cause you distress and building your tolerance to them, like adjusting to the water in a cold pool. In addition to exposure therapies, we will create a toolbox of skills needed to take control of your life. All techniques used are based on your individual comfort level and preferences.
