Do your thoughts feel loud, sticky, and impossible to shut off? You might find yourself stuck in loops of overthinking, doubt, or fear—trying to “figure it out” but only feeling more trapped. Many of my clients struggle with intrusive thoughts around harm, relationships, morality, or identity, and feel exhausted by the constant mental noise. I specialize in helping children, teens, and adults break free from OCD, anxiety, and BDD so they can get back to living with more clarity, confidence, and freedom.
I specialize in OCD, anxiety, BDD, and trauma-related symptoms using evidenced based models like ERP, ACT, CBT-BDD and PE. I help clients reduce compulsions, face fears, process distressing experiences, and change their relationship with intrusive thoughts—so anxiety no longer controls their lives.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from constant mental noise, you’re not alone. This is treatable, and change is possible. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take that next step. I have over 18 years of experience helping adults, teens and children struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD and more. I currently hold licenses in CO, CA, A

I help individuals navigating OCD, anxiety, BDD, and trauma-related symptoms. Treatment often includes ERP, ACT, and CBT, where we work together to face fears, reduce compulsions, and shift how you respond to intrusive thoughts. Over time, clients often feel less overwhelmed, more confident, and more connected to their lives.
