When anxiety or OCD disrupts your daily rhythm, even the smallest decisions can feel overwhelming. You might overanalyze everything, question your worth, or feel stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. Depression can add a heaviness that makes even the good moments hard to enjoy. If you’ve been silently battling self-doubt or feeling disconnected from who you are, you’re not alone—and healing is possible. I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with an MA from Southern New Hampshire University, and I help children, teens, and adults find relief and clarity through therapy that’s both practical and deeply personal.
My own journey through therapy and medication management shaped my belief in what’s possible with the right support. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, CPT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches to help you shift how you relate to painful thoughts and emotions while building a life that reflects your values.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, OCD, or depression, we’ll move at your pace toward a life that feels more grounded, honest, and free. You don’t have to keep second-guessing yourself or navigating this alone. Let’s start uncovering the strength you already have and move toward the kind of life you want to live. I’d be honored to walk with you.
