English
| español Hi! I love working with teens and adults who find themselves struggling with anxiety, OCD and trauma-related issues. I also enjoy working with people dealing with fertility issues, birth trauma or the difficulties of being a new parent. My favorite treatment modalities include ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and ERP (exposure and response prevention) for OCD and anxiety disorders. I'm also trained in EMDR and trauma-focused CBT for trauma. Feel free to ask about my education or training!
I'd describe myself as being a genuine and warm therapist who can still be direct and challenge you when necessary. I like to take a creative approach to your treatment goals, incorporating bits and pieces of things I think may be helpful, but I let my clients guide sessions as much as possible. If this sounds good, reach out to see if I'd be a good fit.
I know how daunting it can be to look for a therapist. I've been there myself. If you're interested in getting to know me or making an appointment, you can email me so we can schedule a 10 minute phone call to determine if I'm a good fit. If phone calls aren't your thing, that's fine too! We can skip that and just schedule a video session.
