This can be hard. Reaching out, being vulnerable, finding the right fit. Well, here is a bit about me to help you decide. What began as a career supporting youth in the juvenile justice system and developing outpatient substance abuse programming for adolescents has grown into a deeply rooted passion: helping individuals break free from anxiety and OCD. Today, my practice is dedicated to guiding clients toward lives filled with clarity, confidence, and peace. I bring years of experience, compassion, and evidence-based care to every session, empowering you to move beyond fear and step into the life you deserve.
I use evidence-based methods in a way that feels supportive, human, and deeply compassionate. Anxiety and OCD can feel woven into who you are—but together, we can untangle those patterns and build a life guided by clarity, calm, and true self-trust. My goal is to walk alongside you with skill and empathy as you rediscover your strength and your peace.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process rooted in trust, compassion and maybe a little humor. I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you build insight, find direction, and work toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Whatever you’re going through, your story matters—and I’m honored to be part of your healing journey.
