I trained extensively with premier institutions like the Beck Institute and U-Penn in CBT and ERP for anxiety and OCD.
My clients are looking for effective therapy to resolve or manage symptoms related to procrastination, AD/HD, trauma, anxiety, depression and OCD. They want to work with a therapist who has a high level of expertise and experience working with their particular struggles. They are motivated and ready to tackle the issues that interfere with feeling they are performing at their best at home and work. They want therapy in which they’re met with warmth and compassion and feel understood, respected and validated. My clients are university students, professionals in high performance careers, and professionals staying home to parent.

Hi there! Thanks for taking a peek at my profile. I enjoy working with all ages from adolescence to teens to adults. I've really narrowed down my craft in therapy to focus on anxiety, OCD through ERP, insomnia/sleep issues, ADHD, grief, and other interpersonal issues. When clients come to work with me in therapy we use a collaborative approach to increase rapport. As we build trust together I really hone in on honesty, transparency, and authenticity. The best way engage in therapy is by showing up as you are so I can meet you where you're at nonjudgmentally because harsh self criticism blocks us from self compassion.

I also enjoy working with individuals who have OCD and am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
Do you find yourself trapped in cycles of rumination or anxiety? Do you go out of your way to avoid feeling sadness, grief, discomfort, or shame? Are you struggling to take steps forward? Are you where you wanted to be? As Mary Oliver said, "Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine." For most of us, life requires some amount of pain. Without help, our difficulties can feel unmanageable and all-consuming. My role is to hold compassionate space to sit beside you in discomfort, and when it's time, consider a new way forward.

I look forward to working with you and helping you conquer your OCD.
I'm here to provide you with a safe space to explore your feelings and face your discomfort. There's no better feeling than seeing people take control of their lives in ways they never would've imagined. At NOCD, my team and I provide personalized and effective specialized treatment for OCD and related conditions, such as BFRBs (including skin-picking, nail-biting, and hair-pulling). Our understanding of the nuances of OCD and related conditions enables us to treat them properly. We have received training in evidence-based treatments, including Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP) therapy—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

Together, we'll learn to overcome challenges related to OCD, panic, social anxiety, and more.
I regularly treat the following symptoms: OCD- Intrusive thoughts; needing reassurance; counting, checking, and reviewing for certainty; searching for answers on Google and Reddit; mentally reviewing/planning for any scenario; generally needing things to feel "complete". Social anxiety- difficulty showing up as your true self; struggling to socialize, connect, or date; wondering what others think about you. Panic- fears about "losing control", embarrassing yourself, or having a heart attack when feeling panicky; not being able to do what you want (ride a train, go to work, etc) due to anxiety.

Our bodies are not the only parts of ourselves that need a tune up from time to time. The mind is a powerful tool that can benefit from support and encouragement. Whether it's a job change, loss, relational issues, living with physical pain or just day-to-day stress, a supportive ear can mean the difference between just getting through the day and living the life that you long for. I have experience working with many clients especially those with eating disorders, depression and anxiety disorders including OCD. For a quick response, please email instead of calling for questions or to set an appointment.

I work with children and teens facing a variety of emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges, including OCD, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism.
Parenting a child or teen who is struggling emotionally can be overwhelming and heartbreaking. Whether it’s anxiety, low self-esteem, or behavioral challenges, it’s natural to feel unsure of how to help. Many parents worry they’re running out of tools or don’t know where to start. As a Licensed Psychologist with specialized training from Harvard Medical School’s McLean Hospital, my goal is to work alongside you and your family to navigate these challenges. Together, we’ll build on your strengths to foster growth, resilience, and stronger connections.

I meet you where you're at, and work in partnership with you to identify, explore and understand your current difficulties, strengths, resources, barriers, supports, then develop and implement a plan to get you feeling better.
