My passion is to provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals and couples who are ready to break free from patterns that keep you stuck in the same cycles, so you can build healthier relationships, stronger self-worth, and a more fulfilling life. My specialties include Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma, and Relationship Counseling.
If you’re struggling with constant self-doubt, people-pleasing, intrusive thoughts, difficulty expressing your needs in a healthy way, or find yourself repeating patterns you’re ready to heal from, we might be an excellent fit! I also help couples develop a deeper understanding of one another, strengthen communication, and build more meaningful connections.
Finding the right therapist can feel intimidating. Opening up to someone new and sharing personal parts of your story takes courage. As your therapist, you can expect a space where you feel heard, understood, challenged when needed, and supported throughout the entire process. If you're ready to go deeper, you are in the right place.
