Are you looking for a professional you or your child will connect with? People meet with me to find relief from symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma, social anxiety, panic attacks & challenging life circumstances. My style is warm, accepting & curious. I provide a unique treatment plan to suit your needs which incorporates evidence based practice and the structure of skills & behavior therapy. We work at a pace that is comfortable for you and draw from your strengths to get you feeling better. You have inner wisdom and choices that will bring you solutions.
As a child/adolescent specialist, I engage youth with humor & play. I have extensive professional experience as a high school teacher and school adjustment counselor in public school, alternative school and residential settings. I support quite a few adolescents, college students, & young professionals although I do work with all ages.
Specialized training in graduate school and beyond includes ExRP for OCD, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Through collaborative and evidence-based practice, children, adolescents, and adults reach behavioral health solutions.
