Some of the main concerns I specialize in include anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ( OCD) depression, family conflict, attachment, and relationship issues.
Therapy can sometimes be a challenging first step for those currently going through a tough time. It can already be very difficult to try and cope with the day to day struggles as well as past traumas in life that opening up to a stranger may feel intimidating. It is my hope to allow my clients to not only feel safe to share their most unique selves within a therapeutic setting, but also to establish a warm and empathic relationship. As a therapist, I recognize the value of kindness and rapport in helping my clients heal. Feeling both seen and heard can truly make a difference in allowing personal growth to take place.

Finding a therapist can be daunting. People often come to therapy seeking relief from distress. This might involve a difficult life transition, coping with a chronic health concern, or navigating challenging relationships with self and others. In addition to finding ways to alleviate this suffering, I create a safe and supportive space to look at and learn from this distress. This may involve finding patterns that have kept you struggling, healing from past harms, and exploring and expanding your existing strengths. I am particularly interested in collaborating with adults, teens, and parents seeking support for ADHD or OCD.

My primary focus areas are OCD, men's mental health, and psychedelic integration therapy.
In my practice, I often work with people who feel very stuck. Sometimes this is because they feel stuck in a certain thought patterns or behaviors. Other times, they feel stuck in their relationships or their place in life. And other times, they feel stuck in emotions such as depression, numbness, and panic. I take a collaborative approach as a therapist and try to work with each person to understand what is causing difficulties and what might help. Sometimes this involves focusing on immediate concerns or goals, and other times involves exploring emotions or how the past has shaped the present.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD, and PTSD.
When we live our lives in a state of constant fight-or-flight, we can go into survival mode. Worries, phobias, panic attacks, trauma, obsessive thoughts, avoidant behavior, and/or repetitive/compulsive behaviors can make us feel hopeless and helpless. We can find ourselves overthinking, overanalyzing, and feeling powerless. If you're feeling like life hasn't been moving in a positive direction, find yourself in a state of hypervigilance due to trauma and/or frozen by fears and uncertainty, you CAN find your way out - sometimes we just need some extra support to do so.
