Mental health struggles are often a “quiet" suffering, while others think you’re doing just fine, on the inside, you’re barely holding on. Therapy is that space to help navigate the quiet, out loud. In practice I specialize in OCD, infertility, postpartum, trauma, peri/post-menopause, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and adjustment related stressors. The choice to enter therapy encompasses your willingness to connect, to be vulnerable, and to seek hope in healing. I see therapy as a way to liberate oneself from patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that are no longer serving you effectively.
I am well versed in working with clients from a myriad of cultures, values and backgrounds. I treat the therapeutic process as collaborative and dynamic, and I utilize various modalities best suited for your presenting concerns. Often the experiences of our past greatly impact our present. We explore these connections to help you make meaningful change.
Our lives are filled with both incredible happiness and calm, as well as times of loss and overwhelming difficulty. I encourage you to reach out for a free phone consultation. If we are a good fit, all paperwork is done through a simple online portal. If you decide you wish to keep looking, I will do my best to help you find a good match.

I utilize counseling theories and techniques based on your unique needs. I believe theories are for clients, not for counselors. A combination of 2-3 theories is often best suited for meaningful change. I often utilize CBT, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Humanistic, Adlerian and Existential therapy in some combination that works best for you.
