Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

My goal is to help you build resilience, process difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way.

Connection is key! I seek to provide the space for clients to allow themselves to be open, explore and accept aspects about themselves where shame and fear may have been the barrier. Past trauma, damaging relationships, anxiety, depression, and spiritual abuse are just a few areas where shame and fear are created. These lead us to isolate, mask, and seek unhealthy coping skills in order to face the day. If you find yourself not enjoying relationships, not able to fulfill or even understand your passion/purpose, or stuck in anxiety, depression or addiction I would be honored to walk through these things with you.

I have over 5 years experience in helping children, teens, and adults with OCD and anxiety-related disorders and have been extensively trained with ERP, HRT, and ComB.
OCD can feel debilitating, "crazy," and can induce shame or guilt because oftentimes symptoms aren't understood; however, I want to assure folks that there is nothing crazy or shameful about experiencing OCD. It's impact on your life can change, and the first step is taking the plunge with ACT and ERP treatment. This is a collaborative process where we identify and work with your values and needs and adapt them into gradual exposures (or challenges) to your OCD. We may even add some humor to the mix to laugh at fears too, if that's something you'd also be interested in, because if we can laugh at our fear, we aren't stuck!

Many clients come to Self Care Conversations carrying anxiety, OCD, or the weight of a major life transition — feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Using CBT, ERP, and REBT, sessions focus on practical tools and honest conversation, not just talk for talk's sake. Clients leave with a clearer sense of their patterns and real strategies to interrupt them. Whether it's working through OCD, navigating a relationship, or adjusting to change, the goal is steady, measurable progress — and a client who feels more capable handling what life brings.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
