Starting therapy can feel intimidating for a number of reasons, and often requires approaching things that feel uncomfortable! I strive to foster an environment that is warm, supportive, and empowering. I have experience with a wide variety of presenting concerns, and have a special passion for working with individuals with anxiety-related disorders (e.g. social anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
I use research-supported interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Mindfulness and self-compassion approaches are woven throughout the work I do. I also tend to use humor and creativity in session when appropriate.
I view therapy as a true collaboration. You are a unique individual whose identities, culture, and strengths are to be affirmed. These are also important in how we do things in therapy. It is my hope to support you in developing skills to confront fears, and to live life in alignment with the values you define. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
