Accepting clients for daytime appointments only. If you’re feeling stuck in worry, intrusive thoughts, or the aftershocks of painful experiences, you’re not alone — and things really can get better. I help people who feel trapped by anxiety, OCD, or trauma find relief and reconnect with a sense of peace and confidence.
When working with OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — a highly effective approach that helps you face fears, reduce compulsions, and loosen anxiety’s grip. Together, we’ll go step-by-step, at a pace that feels safe and doable, so you can start living the life you want without OCD calling the shots.

Everyone struggles from time to time with challenges in life and sometimes they're hard for us to overcome alone. These challenges can include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and trauma. All of these challenges can have a direct impact on our daily lives. How we manage them is what will make the difference between feeling stuck and being able to move on. It's important to recognize when to seek support and likewise feel unashamed to do so. It can be difficult to take that first step because sometimes it's not easy for us to feel comfortable opening up to a stranger. That's okay, it's normal to feel that way!
