If you’re overwhelmed by frequent, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that leave you feeling afraid, unsettled, or embarrassed, you’re not alone. You may feel stuck in “what if” cycles, relying on behaviors just to get relief, or avoiding situations that once felt manageable. However this anxiety shows up, it can feel isolating—but change is possible. I specialize in helping adults with OCD, anxiety-related conditions, and PTSD regain a sense of control and peace.
I use evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create active, collaborative therapy that supports real, lasting change. I bring a warm, creative, and down-to-earth style, along with a sense of humor when it helps—because therapy can sometimes be tough.
In our first sessions, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where I take time to truly understand your experience. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your goals and helps you become the expert in managing your own life. If you’re ready—or even considering it—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.
