If you want to make meaningful changes in your life and aren't sure where to begin, let's work together to figure it out! I work with people who have OCD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am neurodiverse affirming and have experience with folks with ADHD and the gifted population. I also work with people who are experiencing transitions across the lifespan including faith transitions and empty nesting. I love working with clients of all ages and genders.
I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based, integrated approach to help clients work toward meaningful goals. I have training and experience in Exposure Response Therapy (ERP), an evidence-based treatment for OCD. I have experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, giftedness, and transitions across the lifespan and apply evidence-based modalities.
Finding a therapist that you feel like you can build a trusting relationship with can feel so overwhelming! If you are looking for a counselor who brings warmth, humor, and authenticity to the therapy room, I would love to walk with you, helping you work toward your therapeutic goals.
