Aside from anxiety and OCD, common topics of conversation in my practice include navigating relationships, managing work stress, exploring identity, and uncovering the impacts of our childhoods on our present-day lives.
Anxiety and OCD can have relentless impacts on our lives. If you’ve found that you can’t stop playing mental ping-pong in your head, feel that others may not quite understand your concerns, or find that once one worry goes away, another pops up...you’re in the right place! I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. In my approach, we target the “why” behind your anxiety, where it comes from, and how we can get your to a place where you feel less doubts, more confident, and empowered to know what to do when fear strikes.

In this practice we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where you can bring your full self with all of your challenges, and engage in the journey to relief and healing.

Most people that I see in my practice do not have an emotional or psychological illness but are faced with professional or relationship issues that are causing personal distress. These issues when not understood and dealt with can create symptoms of anxiety, depression and a loss of satisfaction in personal, professional, and intimate relationships. They can also interfere with the full expression of a person's unique abilities and the fulfillment of his or her goals.

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/vicarious trauma, relationships, adjustment issues, self-esteem, grief, or problems at school/work.
My approach is geared towards helping clients make choices and relate to others in ways that reinforce their feelings of autonomy, fulfillment, and peace. We engage to explore current situations and the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and then develop strategies to help better manage situations or make decisions. Strategies we explore may include short term action plans as well as longer term resilience building to manage ongoing challenges. I will work with clients to develop new ways of interpreting difficulties, understanding others, and communicating that are in line with their own values and hopes.

I enjoy and look forward to working with individuals in therapy who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, behavioral issues, difficulties with self-esteem, painful family dynamics, relational challenges, navigating life transitions, feeling ‘stuck,’ making meaning of mixed race identity, and with those who wish to know more about themselves.

I work with a Service Dog, Finn, who provides a gentle, loving presence that can be very comforting, anxiety reducing, and uplifting in sessions.
