Most (90+%) of my clients come to me for help with anxiety, OCD, or related disorders. Many (about half) come to me because they also have some form of neurodiversity, such as autism or ADHD, and I have specialization in both areas and understand how they can intersect. All of my clients are struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, and are experiencing high levels of distress and/or have withdrawn from their life, avoiding their fears, but also making their world smaller. They often have stopped enjoying the things they used to enjoy and are wanting to get back into living their best life.
I use evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to provide a supportive environment for growth and recovery. I tailor treatment to each individual, ensuring that you feel understood and empowered throughout your journey.
I know that reaching out for help is hard. Anxiety might be telling you it's too risky, it's not worth trying because nothing helps, or even that talking about it will make it worse. I want you to know that even though anxiety is clever and very compelling, that doesn't mean it's right. I invite you to call for a consult and find out for yourself.

I work with clients struggling with unwanted intrusive thoughts and high levels of anxiety. I use evidence-based treatments to learn new ways to relate to difficult feelings and respond to harsh and critical thoughts. Most of my clients start seeing changes in the first month, and most graduate from services in a year or less, depending on severity and complexity of symptoms.

I consider myself primarily an ACT therapist. I also integrate IFS to deepen self-compassion and self-leadership, as well as ERP as needed to address and disrupt OCD cycles. I have learned that ERP alone is often not enough, as learning how to take care of yourself through difficult emotions and discomfort, while acknowledging history and previous learning is important to support progress.
