Described by clients as authentic, determined, and insightful, I provide specialized therapy that is individually tailored to help you solve your problems and realize your potential. Clients find my approach both effective and enjoyable as it balances practical utility and depth. I also specialize in treating OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard in OCD treatment.
I have extensive experience helping people from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I regularly work with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community. I have particular expertise and interest in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, OCD, depression, addictions, self-expression, difficult life adjustments, and relationship issues.
Together, we can create meaningful change. If even a small part of you is curious to see how things can be different, I hope to hear from you soon.
