When working together, I will always meet you where you're at, help you formulate your goals, and gently push you towards values-based living. I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety. My hope is that I can help you find your voice and build confidence through my compassionate, down-to-earth therapy style. I also love to infuse creativity whenever possible to help deepen the therapeutic experience and foster self-reflection.
I specialize in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Expressive Arts Therapy. I'm also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques. I meet clients through both in-person appointments and via telehealth.
Making the decision to seek mental health treatment can be a difficult first step. I offer a warm and welcoming environment for people with all levels of therapy experience. I encourage new clients to reach out to discuss how I can help you meet your goals.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, worry, uncertainty, and OCD symptoms (obsessions and compulsive behaviors). In our initial sessions, we will discuss how these issues are getting in the way, and create a plan on how to lead a more fulfilling life. This might include learning skills to address your thoughts and behaviors, or doing exposure work to face your fears.

I use Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) to address specific fears associated with OCD and anxiety disorders. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in conjunction with this. ACT helps clients focus on the present moment and shifts our perspective about unhelpful thoughts, and CBT focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
