I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, stress/burnout, or mood related concerns. Do you find your self (or your child) constantly worrying about "what if" scenarios? Are you feeling "stuck" in your life and struggling to move forward? I can help! It’s hard to find joy in the little things when you constantly feel distracted by the thoughts in your head. We can work together to help you identify your values and create a plan to cope with the difficult thoughts and feelings holding you back.

My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and non-judgmental. I have expertise utilizing skills from a CBT, ERP, and ACT approach. I also specialize in parent coaching for anxiety-related disorders. Finding a therapist that is a good fit can be challenging, please visit my website to schedule a free 15 min consult to see if I am a good fit for you!

I enjoy genuine human connection. I love hearing my clients unique stories and helping them reach their goals. Change is possible and I'm here to guide you through the difficult periods of your life! I look forward to an opportunity to meet you and hear your story. :)
