I am LGBTQ+ affirming and neurodiversity affirming.

Ever increasing levels of stress and anxiety are commonplace in modern life. We have become so accustomed to living in this chronic state of hyper arousal that we now consider it to be a "normal" baseline of daily functioning. Unfortunately, for many this state of increased anxiety can begin to feel debilitating, demoralizing, and inescapable. It's hard to describe the feelings of hopelessness and isolation that those who suffer from severe anxiety face. It can wreak havoc on our most important relationships, limit our ability to grow, to be authentic, playful and creative, flexible, empathic and patient with ourselves and others.

I bring both clinical skill and creative intuition to the healing process. If you feel caught in cycles of reactivity, self-doubt, or emotional disconnection—especially in your relationships—you’re not alone. With a curious, experiential approach, I specialize in helping individuals explore the unresolved trauma that shows up in the present, often in ways that feel confusing, painful, or overwhelming. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I guide clients in gently uncovering and transforming the protective parts of themselves that developed in response to pain.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just like a bit of a mystery to yourself, I’m glad you’re here. I believe therapy should feel less like a clinical appointment and more like a curious exploration of your inner world. I aim for a warm, honest, and wholehearted approach- conversations where you can kick off your shoes, be yourself, and not worry about being "too much" or "too messy." My experience over the past decade has been across settings including hospital, crisis response, in-home, and outpatient therapy supporting adolescents, adults, and families.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviors that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioral therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioral change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
