Using an individualized approach that integrates evidence-based therapies, including ERP, ACT, ComB, and CBT, we'll build awareness around your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
I help adults and college students facing OCD, panic, emetophobia, skin picking, and perfectionism. You might be stuck overthinking, telling yourself "I'll only do this compulsion one more time," tired of not feeling in control and of battling your thoughts, or fearful of when your next panic attack will hit. You might have even felt like you have lost yourself. You want relief and clarity, but you're not so sure on how to get there because of fear, guilt, or shame. I know it can be exhausting trying to keep it together, but you do not have to face it alone. I am driven by a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek help.

A licensed psychologist and educator, I bring a warm and collaborative approach to therapy stemming from my belief in the dignity and uniqueness of each client's therapeutic journey. It is an honor and privilege for me to bring support and expertise to a tailored, therapeutic journey. My counseling and clinical experience allow me to bring multiple, clinical treatment approaches to the client. I draw on a number of Eastern practices, that I am experienced in and where there is interest, to bring to therapy (Mindfulness Meditation, T'ai Chi, and Qi Gong). I run social anxiety, mindfulness, and somatic body image groups each year.

I draw from Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP), CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Prolonged Exposure.
I work with adults 18 and older who are navigating life changes, facing challenges with OCD, depression, anxiety, or dealing with the effects of trauma and PTSD. These experiences can feel overwhelming and lonely, especially when those around you don’t fully understand what you’re going through. Many of the people I work with come to therapy looking for a safe, supportive space—somewhere they can talk openly without judgment. Together, we work to make sense of what they’re feeling, build helpful tools, and move toward greater clarity, balance, and peace.

I specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), particularly for complex cases - when OCD occurs alongside trauma, depression, or addiction, or when previous therapy hasn't worked.
I use ERP and I-CBT to address the false doubt that fuels OCD—contamination fears, harm obsessions, relationship OCD, scrupulosity, Pure O, and OCD tangled with trauma or depression. IFS helps you understand protective parts. ACT principles help you move toward your values. The focus: stopping the rumination cycle so you can actually live your life.

Individuals are often given advice by those who have not taken the time or had the ability to understand the issue. My goal in therapy is to understand the concerns and challenges from your perspective. Only after a relationship based on trust, empathy, understanding, and at times even humor has been built, can I help you achieve your goals. Everyone deserves individually tailored treatment. If this approach seems to be a fit, please schedule an appointment. If for some reason it seems that I can't help you, I will do my best to help you find someone who can.
