As a therapist specializing in treating anxiety disorders and OCD, I recognize how exhausting it can be to feel trapped by constant worry, intrusive thoughts, and the pressure to find certainty in an uncertain world. Whether you're struggling with anxiety that interferes with daily life or OCD that keeps you stuck in cycles of fear and doubt, therapy can help. I work collaboratively with teens and adults to develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and learn new ways of responding to anxiety so they can move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative and evidence based. I utilize and integrate techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. I strive to create a safe, and non judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and build the skills to feel empowered in your life.
I dedicate myself to supporting you along your wellness journey. I am committed to being an advocate and incorporating multiculturalism into my practice. If you feel ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call to learn more about my services and how I may be able to support you.
