Immediate in person and virtual openings! I specialize in treating individuals who tend to live in their heads, think in loops, and wrestle with anxiety, perfectionism, or long-standing habits that once kept them safe but now feel restrictive.
If you find yourself asking big questions — about meaning, identity, purpose, or why your mind works the way it does — therapy can be a place to explore both the practical and the profound in those questions.
I treat anxiety disorders, panic, phobias, and OCD. My work is rooted in both psychodynamic therapy and evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
I aim to create a space that is steady, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment.
