I provide individual therapy for individuals navigating OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, and overcontrol in addition to depression and other mood disorders. I work with clients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders and feel honored to help individuals in various stages of recovery. I connect well with clients who are curious and willing to be introspective and psychologically flexible in order to identify and change maladaptive behavioral patterns. I practice a compassionate, direct, and humor-based approach and encourage clients to lean into inherent strengths and intuition to continue building a meaningful life.
I believe that acting in our values, coexisting with discomfort and uncertainty, and practicing acceptance helps us to build a life worth living. I incorporate evidence-based principles from CBT, DBT, ACT, and ERP to help clients make sense of overwhelming emotions, unhelpful behavior patterns, and negative thoughts and identify barriers to positive change.
I believe that both validation and honest reflection is necessary for change. My goal is to build a brave, collaborative, and welcoming space in which clients feel empowered to practice vulnerability and exploration. If this feels like a space that might be right for you, let's chat! I offer a free 15 minute consultation to see if this feels like a good fit.

Therapy is as individual as we are, so all of my sessions look a little bit different. That being said, my sessions often include a combination of skills acquisition, processing and reframing, insight building, psychoeducation and increasing one's ability to self-validate and increase self-efficacy. My goal is to provide clients with the tools they need to build lasting and meaningful resilience.
