At some point, you may have noticed your mind getting louder, overthinking, intrusive thoughts, or patterns that don’t respond to logic the way you wish they would. Does it ever feel like no matter what you do, the thoughts come back stronger? I work with teens and adults navigating OCD, anxiety, and the complexities of identity, providing LGBTQIA+ affirming care grounded in both clinical expertise and lived understanding. My approach is warm, collaborative, and affirming with a focus on insight, self-compassion, and sustainable change.
I specialize in OCD, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. Using ERP, DBT, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy, we’ll build insight, challenge stuck patterns, and strengthen emotional regulation. Highlighting a balance of depth, practical tools, and humor.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to holding everything together. You don’t have to do that here. If you’re looking for a space that’s thoughtful, affirming, and real, with room for honesty and a little humor, I’d be glad to hear your story. I look forward to connecting :)
