I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the emotional weight that can come with these experiences. Many people come to therapy feeling exhausted from holding it all together, unsure where to start, or wondering why things feel harder than they “should.” You’re not alone in that.
Therapy with me is relational, supportive, and collaborative. I believe healing happens when you truly feel seen and understood. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have everything figured out. We move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on what matters most to you.

If you’ve ever thought, “Something is not right” you’re not alone—and most likely, something isn’t right. Therapy with me is a space where your guard can soften and your story can be met with care. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood difficulties, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of trauma. Many of my clients are deep feelers, people-pleasers, or the one who’s always been “the strong one,” often working through codependency, abandonment/rejection wounds, identity concerns, and difficulty trusting themselves. I also support neurodivergent clients seeking greater understanding and regulation.

Anxiety can be powerful and confusing, especially when so much in the world is beyond our control. When the things we do in response to stress, grief, loss, and trauma become harmful, the light at the end of the tunnel becomes more distant. I believe in the power of every person to find the strength and ability to move through life’s challenges, and the value of recognizing what is ours to control and what is not. I encourage being careful, not fearful, and I will work with you to establish hope and faith in yourself and the world, while navigating the nuances of various mood and emotional issues.

Life is both an incredible adventure and so unbearably hard that we are not sure what way to turn next. Sometimes people, even people who love us , make it so much more difficult. Sometimes we seem to be making choices that make things worse when all we are doing is trying to feel better or be true to ourselves. There can be moments when we just need someone to listen, really listen. Listening and then helping others to figure out what is best for them is why I love being a counselor.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
