Struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD? Feeling stuck in constant “what-ifs,” rumination, or compulsions? You’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way. I help adults break free from anxiety, OCD, and fear-based patterns so they can start making confident, values-driven decisions and feel more in control of their lives. My approach is active, structured, and results-oriented. Together, we’ll work to understand your obsessions, face core fears, and reduce compulsions using evidence-based strategies.
I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD—as well as ACT, DBT, and Prolonged Exposure for trauma. Through a combination of education and guided exposures, you’ll learn how to tolerate uncertainty, stop the cycle of rumination, and build a healthier relationship with anxiety.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my balance of warmth and directness. I’ll challenge you, support you, and hold you accountable—because real change comes from doing the work, not just talking about it. If you’re ready to step outside your comfort zone, we’ll make a great team. Change is possible!
