I work with individuals struggling with OCD, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety—especially when it involves uncertainty, identity, or difficulty trusting your own thinking. You may feel stuck in cycles of overthinking or doubt, trying to think your way to certainty but only feeling more stuck. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but caught in mental loops that don’t fully make sense and are hard to let go of. Our work focuses on understanding these patterns and developing a different relationship to thoughts so you can move forward with more clarity.
I also specialize in working with individuals who are questioning or moving away from religious backgrounds. If you grew up in a high-control or high-demand environment, you may be navigating guilt, fear, identity confusion, or difficulty trusting your own thinking. This process—sometimes called deconstruction—can be both freeing and deeply unsettling.
With over 18 years of experience, my approach to therapy is thoughtful, and non-directive with a focus on interpersonal connection, collaboration, and humor. Therapy is a space to better understand how your mind works, reduce the pull of anxiety and overthinking, and move forward with greater clarity and flexibility.
