“A joyful life is an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe.” — Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Congratulations! You have taken the first, often awkward, step in changing your life by looking for a therapist. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is being vulnerable and choosing hope in spite of your pain. Together, in your journey to healing, we draw a holistic picture of your problems to help you find solutions, heal from unresolved wounds, and find a deeper sense of purpose and connection. I help you reach your potential by exploring your uniqueness.
When you work with me, you will be treated in a manner that reflects your individuality. In collaboration with you and your strengths, I strive to build hope and open up your creative and innovative thought processes that will affect confidence and a positive outlook. We find that sweet spot between acceptance and change that can help you transform.
Have you ever felt trapped in a world that demands perfection? Are intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors keeping you from living the life you envision? Let me walk alongside you on your journey with OCD and Anxiety, discovering resilience within you, empowering you to reclaim your life and embrace your authentic self – “Perfectly, Imperfect.”

I work with clients who feel overwhelmed by the constant noise of anxiety, the restlessness of ADHD, or the intrusive pull of OCD and panic. Together, we'll untangle what's getting in the way of your peace, at a pace that feels safe and doable. In our work, I draw from evidence-based tools while honoring the beautifully complex, perfectly imperfect nature of being human.
