Are you or your child feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with anxiety or major life changes? I work with tweens, teens, and adults, providing individualized, compassionate support tailored to each person’s unique needs. I have specialized training in OCD treatment, am a member of the International OCD Foundation, and have extensive experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
In our work together, we’ll identify patterns and obstacles that may be getting in your way while building practical tools and coping strategies to support emotional well-being and healthier relationships.
In our work together, I help clients identify patterns and obstacles that may be getting in the way, while building practical tools and coping strategies to support emotional well-being and healthier relationships. My therapeutic approach integrates mindfulness-based practices with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I strive to create a warm, calming, and supportive environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I value genuine connection and often use empathy and humor to help clients feel at ease. Our work together is collaborative, with a focus on building emotional regulation, effective problem-solving skills, and resilience.
