Many thoughtful, capable adults struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or the patterns of perfectionism that quietly make life feel exhausting, even when everything seems fine on the outside. I have specialized training through a post-doctoral fellowship in OCD, and I help people understand what keeps these cycles going, so they can step out of repetitive mental loops and develop practical strategies to regain clarity, confidence, and ease in daily life. My approach is collaborative, direct, and tailored to each client, balancing curiosity with pragmatism and support.
I maintain a limited number of weekly openings to ensure focused, thoughtful work with each client.
I completed a post-doctoral clinical fellowship in the University of Florida’s College of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, specializing in the treatment of pediatric and adult OCD, phobias, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
