I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, people longing for meaningful relationships, those navigating faith transitions, other therapists, and anyone struggling with self-worth, addiction, OCD, anxiety, or depression.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted—worn down by others’ expectations, feeling isolated, hiding parts of who they are, battling addiction, or struggling with self-hatred, perfectionism, intense anxiety, or depression.

I work with a variety of challenges, including stress, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, OCD & scrupulosity, intrusive thoughts, chronic pain, and ADHD.
I became a counselor because of how rewarding it is to see people transform for the better. Growing up in a US military family stationed in Germany, I experienced the collective joy when the Berlin Wall fell. At the same time, I was taught extensively about the horrors of World War II—starkly contrasting the beauty I saw there in the 80s and 90s. To me, these transformations serve as powerful testaments that people’s lives can improve, even after years of hardship.
My passion is helping people of all ages gain the understanding and support they need to strengthen emotional health and to improve thoughts, motivations, and habits.

You got married full of hope—excited to build a life together. But now, it feels like that dream is slipping away. After years of trying, you feel lost. You’ve tried to communicate your needs, to be patient, believed it would get better—but no matter what, you both end up stuck in the same painful patterns. Maybe you feel like: “Nothing I do is ever good enough,” “They don’t appreciate me,” “I don't matter to my partner.” Or maybe there’s been a breaking point—a fight that cut too deep, a betrayal that left you in agony—and now you’re left wondering if you can ever rebuild. Something has to change, but can therapy actually help?

How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
