I work with individuals navigating OCD, perfectionism, anxiety (generalized, social, or in dating/relationships), depression, religious trauma/spiritual abuse, amongst others. My approach is collaborative and supportive: we work together to clarify your values, set attainable and measurable goals, and use them as a guide to move closer to the life you desire. I often assign homework to ensure progress between sessions and incorporate exposure exercises to help you face fears and build confidence. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, reduce distress, and create meaningful, lasting change in a way that feels authentic to you.
I build a strong, collaborative, and warm therapeutic relationship, using humor when appropriate. I guide clients through reflection and discovery rather than giving advice, drawing on Mindfulness-Based CBT, ACT, DBT, and attachment theory to support lasting and meaningful change.
Taking the step to begin therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain, I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you in moving toward the kind of life you want to build. I invite you to reach out so we can explore together whether I may be the right fit for your needs.
