Have others said you need to relax or stop worrying? Are you overwhelmed by constant what ifs? Do you feel stressed or restless all the time, have difficulty relaxing or don't know how to feel more grounded? Anxiety, OCD and perfectionism can rob you of life's greatest joys and keep you stuck in indecision. You don't have to suffer alone. You are not broken and you are capable of change. Family systems, culture and stigma prevent people who need help from getting help. I help people tackle their anxiety with confidence - reducing doubt, fear and indecision in their lives.
I can help you address your anxiety, OCD and perfectionism as you become comfortable in therapy, prioritizing your mental health and addressing patterns that have held you back from the life you want to live. I trust my skills will bring symptom relief with work on both our parts. I bring compassion and skill and you bring your life experience and strengths.
My commitment to you as a therapist and fellow human is to provide you with an open, welcoming, safe place to be yourself and learn to live better with anxiety, OCD and perfectionism. We all need help from time to time. Feel free to reach out by email/phone or schedule an initial consult directly on my website. I look forward to seeing how I can help!

I love working with clients who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism and OCD. I am an ally to all communities and deeply value and honor diversity in all its forms — race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, nationality, and culture. If you have specific questions about whether I'm a good fit for you, I'm happy to talk directly and openly.

I specialize in treating anxiety with CBT and ERP. We will set an agenda and develop treatment goals. We will work together to see how our brains can trick us into believing things that aren't true (i.e I can't tolerate anxiety) and how to change thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms. I provide trauma-focused therapy by helping decrease shame and cope with symptoms.
