My work spans a variety of areas, including anxiety, OCD, depression, traumatic experiences, relationship distress, life transitions, and identity challenges. I enjoy working with people who struggle with perfectionism, rumination, self-compassion, attention, follow-through, and motivation.

On the outside, it looks like you have it all together. You're a high functioning professional who identifies as an over-thinker, a worrier, and struggles to let go of control. Maybe you’re someone that has experienced trauma, and isn't sure how to move forward. Maybe you're in a romantic relationship that feels stalled or disconnected. Or maybe you’re just trying to reconnect with yourself: as a human who is more than just the multiple roles you carry, a person who no longer wants to be the one who gives to others without receiving in return, or a person who has lost their sense of self.

I am accepting new clients at this time. I specialize in trauma and also work with individuals coming to therapy with a wide spectrum of concerns. My goal is to help clients reduce, manage, and resolve their issues. Clients learn to increase their emotional IQs and emotional regulation skills, develop better communication skills, strengthen their most resourced self, and manage ego states (my anxious part, depressed part, my angry part, etc.). I use cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems (parts work), and other therapies and modalities. In session, treatments are offered and practiced, such as EMDR.

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.
