Do you see people changing and wish you could too? Sometimes all a person needs is a little encouragement to move forward. Other times self motivation or outside forces make change more complicated.

I meet with individuals, couples and families and see that often magical things happen once internal or external obstacles are set aside. Life is an strange and wonderful adventure!

I work with children (ages 10 and up), teens, young adults, and families.

I will be on maternity leave from Feb '24 to May '24. I'm currently NOT accepting any new clients at this time.

Feeling isolated, down, overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck in negative patterns in our relationships are commonplace.

PRACTICE IS FULL. I practice from a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach. Treatment typically includes challenging unhelpful beliefs about yourself, others and the world. Exposure and Response Prevention is typically used as the first line of treatment for OCD, OCD related disorders and anxiety disorders. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment, Dialectical Behavioral, and Relational therapies. Any behavior is an intention to sustain the self; yet many times the preserving behavior exacerbates the distress, fear, sadness, or anger.

In order to change, we must feel both supported and challenged. As your therapist, my role is to provide a supportive environment where we can examine current patterns of thoughts and behaviors and challenge the ones that are getting in the way of you reaching your goals.
