If you’re reading this, chances are your mind rarely gives you a break. Maybe you obsess over germs, get stuck in mental loops, or picture worst-case scenarios every time you think about flying. You try all the skills...like logic, distraction, and likely even been to therapy—but the anxious loop keeps pulling you back in. Avoiding what scares you works for a moment, but it’s also keeping your life smaller than you want it to be. You’re craving relief that lasts—skills that actually work in the heat of the moment—so you can stop overthinking, show up for the people you love, and feel confident doing the things that matter to you.

I help adults break free from anxiety’s grip—whether it shows up as OCD, emetophobia, or fear of flying. My approach blends science-backed methods like ERP and ACT with a supportive, practical style. You’ll learn how to face fear, quiet anxious thoughts, and reclaim your ability to live fully and freely again.

I know how exhausting anxiety can feel—and I also know change is possible. My practice is fully online, making therapy accessible wherever you are in Minnesota, South Dakota, or Florida. Let’s talk about what support could look like for you. Schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation today and take the next step to living a life beyond the what ifs.
