If you've been searching for a way out of intrusive thoughts, mental loops, or anxiety that won’t shut off, no matter how much you try to think your way out of it, you're not alone and there is a way forward. Many of my clients come in feeling exhausted from overthinking, stuck in worry spirals, or caught in patterns of checking, reassurance-seeking, or mental compulsions. Often, they’ve tried therapy before but still feel like nothing has fully helped. I'll help you to gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and build resilience.
I specialize in OCD, intrusive thoughts and panic using Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), ACT & CBT, approaches that help you break out of the cycle rather than stay stuck analyzing it. My approach is active, structured, and collaborative. Together, we’ll focus on helping you build tolerance to uncertainty, reduce compulsions & regain a sense of control.
I know how important it is to find the right therapist, and I’m committed to helping my clients see real, lasting change. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, so I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation—no pressure, just a chance to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

My approach is rooted in CBT, but therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. In our first session, we'll talk about your symptoms, how they've been affecting your life and what approach feels right for you. I'll help you learn practical tools to make your thoughts and emotions feel more manageable and less overwhelming.
