If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly living as well as you could, therapy might be a great next step. Many people — including my clients — are able to get by on their own, but my goal is to help you do more than “just get by.”
I help people learn to manage anxiety, recover from OCD, lift their mood, strengthen coping skills, and build healthier relationships. I also work with those who have experienced trauma to better understand how the past may still be influencing their life.
My goal is to help you live the life you want and enjoy it fully. Together, we can find practical ways to create lasting change and
Much of my work focuses on helping people see how past trauma may still shape their life today. I also specialize in treating OCD, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders using evidence-based approaches. I completed advanced training through the International OCD Foundation’s Behavioral Therapy Training Institute.
Having worked in both large cities like Chicago and rural towns like Knoxville, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life. I strive to relate to my clients as a person, not just a therapist, creating a relaxed and supportive space where you can open up, share honestly, and maybe even laugh along the way.
