I work with adults (18+) struggling with OCD, PTSD, Perinatal OCD, and Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. I am especially passionate about supporting healthcare professionals, first responders, and other helping professionals, while welcoming anyone seeking compassionate, evidence-based care. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you can reduce anxiety, heal from trauma, build resilience, and reconnect with the life that matters most to you. Together, we'll work to reduce the impact of anxiety and trauma, build psychological flexibility, and help you reconnect with the life you want to live.
I specialize in treating OCD, PTSD, Perinatal OCD, and PMADs using evidence-based therapies, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). As a member of IOCDF and PSI, I provide individualized care grounded in current best practices.
Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, trauma, or intrusive thoughts have taken over. You don't have to face it alone. Healing is possible, and I'd be honored to support you with compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in my practice for OCD and CPT for clients with PTSD, but I pull from multiple cognitive-based therapies for general anxiety issues. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you.
