I am a collaborative therapist who will help you focus on your experience to formulate and achieve your individual or family goals. I believe you are the expert in your life and should be in the driver’s seat of your therapy experience. I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment and committed to helping you build the skill and insight you need to heal. I am skilled in helping you identify your strengths and work through your challenges to achieve your goals.
I have experience and extensive trainings working with anxiety disorders, focusing on OCD as well as trauma. In my work with clients, I utilize a combination of ERP, ACT, solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. This framework allows each client to have a tailored therapy experience to focus on their unique personal goals.
