Are you looking to become more connected with yourself and your emotions? Perhaps you are struggling with trauma, relational conflicts, body image issues, OCD or Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). I tend to work with self-described "over-thinkers" who might already be self-aware, but need help learning how to fully feel, process and express their emotions.
As a therapist, I strive to approach people with non-judgment and vulnerability, and provide a space for them to fully explore and express their emotions. A caring therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest tools. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ populations, weight-neutral body image issues and Exposure/Response Prevention for OCD.
I hope to help on your journey to understand your emotions, access a more authentic version of you, and create deeper connection with yourself and others to enrich your life. Please call or email to schedule a free 20 minute consultation.

I use Somatic Experiencing techniques for anyone wanting to bring the body into session. Other techniques I tend to use during therapy are Parts Work and Expressive-Arts based approaches. I also use Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) for people with OCD and Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for people with Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors.
