Are you exhausted from battling anxiety, obsessions, or compulsions? You’ve worked hard to manage them, but it feels like you’re stuck in a cycle, missing out on the life you want. You don’t have to do this alone. Whether it’s OCD, anxiety, or behaviors like skin-picking or hair-pulling, evidence-based methods can help you regain control. Together, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck and create a plan to move forward. You deserve a life where anxiety doesn’t hold you back—let’s take the first step together.

My practice helps clients overcome OCD and compulsive behaviors using evidence-based treatments, including Inference-Based CBT (iCBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB) for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). Together, we’ll work toward breaking free and regaining control.

With advanced specialization in methods that work, I’m committed to helping you take back control of your life. If you're ready to make a change, I’m here to help you get started.
