Having worked with diverse individuals in the mental health field, my strength lies in creating an open and attentive space for people to be their authentic selves. As an advocate first and therapist second, my priority is always supporting and amplifying the voices of those with complex needs. Working in the behavioral health field, I've seen the limitations and misunderstandings many people face concerning OCD. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. We deeply understand the nuances and intricacies of OCD, enabling us to properly diagnose and treat it.

I understand that life brings many challenges, but I believe no one should have to walk through them alone. In my experience, true growth and transformation often take root in life’s most difficult moments. That belief shapes how I approach counseling. I value the opportunity to be fully present with my clients, offering empathy, care, and support. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. I meet each person where they are, honoring their unique story, needs, and strengths, and I work collaboratively to shape goals that are meaningful to them.

Finding a counselor is hard. It takes courage to reach out at a time when you're feeling most vulnerable. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, a life transition, or whatever has brought you here, my role is to provide safe and non-judgmental support. I will assist you in reaching the goals you have for yourself by helping you to exercise your own strengths, rather than to give you advice. Together, we can discover and work towards solutions that benefit you and your unique set of circumstances. I welcome the opportunity to meet you!

Working with a therapist is a courageous and collaborative journey. My approach is client-driven and tailored to each individual client's goals and comfort level. Whether you're carrying burdens, feeling stuck or just seeking self-improvement, this being human can be a challenge sometimes and a heavy weight to carry alone. While I believe the client drives the train, I will be your guide as we work together to navigate areas of your life where you want to find relief, growth and joy. Building a trusting and comfortable space is the passion of my work as a therapist, and I am humbled by each therapy relationship.

I have over six years of experience working with adolescents and adults in both clinical mental health and community-based settings.
Accepting New Clients - When we lose sight of who we are and what we want in life, we start living on autopilot, becoming blind to how our current patterns contribute to us feeling stuck, unsatisfied, insecure, or overwhelmed. Daily life is full of so many responsibilities and distractions, leaving us with little energy to self-reflect or connect with ourselves. Sometimes time away from all of the noise is needed to refocus on you, rediscover your individuality, and forge a path toward a more authentic, fulfilling, and self-determined life. Everyone deserves a space dedicated just to them, and therapy can be that space for you.

I am committed to supporting teens (15+) and adults navigating anxiety, identity, and life transitions, with a focus on Black-identified clients, men, BIPOC communities, and educators.
You may feel unseen or misunderstood in relationships, at home, at work, or even within yourself. Maybe you're carrying the weight of anxiety, identity questions, or major life transitions, all while trying to hold it together for everyone else. You might be exploring masculinity or men’s issues, or simply be tired of being the one others rely on without receiving support in return. You don’t have to do it alone anymore.

I approach OCD with the understanding that it has the power to distort everything you love. That understanding motivates me to help members reclaim what they love most. In graduate school, the first advice I received was that if you want to be a therapist, you need to know what it's like to be on the other side of the chair. That's how I started my journey to becoming a therapist. In undergoing therapy myself, I learned how anxiety-provoking it was to open up to a complete stranger. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD.
