You’re replaying a moment from three days ago on loop. You're Googling symptoms you’re too embarrassed to say out loud. You're overanalyzing a text. You’re trying to figure out if that one weird thought meant something about you. You need things to feel “just right” or you spiral. You crave certainty, but the more you chase it, the worse it gets. Maybe it looks like anxiety or perfectionism, or maybe you’re just tired of feeling stuck in your own brain. Therapy with me is about real help, not just coping, but healing. I specialize in OCD, anxiety, and supporting neurodivergent clients (diagnosed or self-identified).
I work with teens (15+), college students, and young adults - especially those navigating OCD, intrusive thoughts, or phobias. I also support neurodivergent clients, including autistic (diagnosed or self-identified). I'm warm, straightforward, and a little quirky. I use ERP, ICBT, and other evidence-based, collaborative approaches.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it shouldn’t be. I tailor our work to your brain, your values, and your pace. If you’ve felt like therapy hasn’t “worked” before, let’s try something different. Schedule a free consultation call to see if we’re a good match. I'm here when you're ready.

I use ERP and ICBT - two solid, research-backed tools for OCD and anxiety. Think of them as helping your brain stop falling for anxiety's "what-ifs", horror stories, or conspiracy theories. We're not here to get rid of fear altogether (it's kind of a survival feature), but to help you sit with it, dial down the drama, and get back to your weird, wonderful life.
