Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Apex, NC
Comprehensive Psychological Evaluations: When your child or teen is struggling, it can feel overwhelming! My passion is helping children and families move past these struggles! Gaining a better understanding of individual challenges and strengths through a psychological evaluation is the first step in providing your child the support they need to thrive. With 20 years of experience as a School Psychologist, as well as clinical knowledge through private practice, I understand the broad range of functioning of children, can determine each child's individual needs and recommend effective supports to successfully meet those needs.

I also work specifically with coping strategies for individuals with other mental health issues such as ADHD and OCD, among others, both as part of therapy as a whole, or in specific shorter treatment such as ADHD coaching, depending on the need.
My approach to therapy is heavily influenced by a trust in my client's ability to heal themselves once they are equipped with knowledge and self awareness of their experiences. I emphasize psycho-education and autonomy to help my client's regain and maintain control over their lives. My role is to guide my clients to helpful decisions and coping strategies.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves or their child. Many come with questions about autism, ADHD, giftedness, twice-exceptionality (2e), anxiety, executive functioning, or social-emotional challenges. Others feel they've always experienced the world differently but have never fully understood why. Through a collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming approach, I help clients gain insight into their unique profile, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies that support growth, confidence, and meaningful change.

I also use ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) for anxiety, phobias, and obsessive patterns, helping clients gradually face fears while building confidence
In addition, I draw from EFT to support emotional awareness and connection, and IFS to help clients develop curiosity and compassion toward different parts of themselves. These approaches allow therapy to be structured and deeply attuned, supporting healing at a pace that feels safe and collaborative.

If you often feel out of place, overwhelmed by the world around you, or exhausted from masking just to get through the day—I see you. Maybe you've spent a lot of your life trying to make sense of big emotions, sensory overload, social dynamics that never felt intuitive, or feeling like your brain works differently than others expect it to. You might have been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much”—or you’ve wondered if something’s wrong with you, even when deep down you know there isn’t. I work with people who are tired of trying to fit into boxes that were never meant for them.
