I have expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy for people struggling with OCD, anxiety, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and anger. I also specialize in parent coaching for anxiety-related disorders, and identity exploration in adulthood. I believe that everyone deserves the space to explore themselves on a deeper level.
I utilize a direct, humorous, and empathic approach to therapy. I view people through a systems lens, always thinking about how the world we live in impacts us each day.
I am passionate about teaching people how to express their emotions in a healthy way, unearthing insights related to their past and how it impacts them now, and conquering anxiety that gets in the way of living life to its fullest. I see clients from all walks of life and would love to help you on your journey to becoming your best self.
