The most important thing I convey to clients is "you don't have to live like this". You don't have to just "deal" with the constant nagging doubt of OCD. You don't have to abide the nonstop pressure of anxiety. You don't have to put up with the flashbacks and hyper-vigilance of trauma. No matter how the pain of OCD, anxiety and/or trauma is affecting you, there are ways to fight back, survive and excel. While I am most passionate about OCD, anxiety and trauma, I also work with depression, attachment disorders, codependency, relationship, and family issues.

My clients desire to appear confident and in control, but deep down they are silently struggling to keep it together. They may be fed up with being everyone's "rock", feeling riddled with frustration and anxiety, or wondering who they are outside of all the "hats" being worn. They may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure: they're ready for relief. They come ready to release the things that they've been holding in. They're ready to unhook from the cycle of burnout, numb out, repeat. Most of all, they're ready to step into an authentic relationship with themselves, life & those around them.

I believe it is important to support clients in setting goals, learning how to problem solve, and developing coping skills.

It oftentimes takes a lot of determination and intention to seek out therapy services. You are probably looking for the right fit and the truth is not everyone is the right fit.

I try to make things as easy as possible by offering online scheduling, and I have flexible hours on the weekends.

You hold no pretensions that your life is supposed to be nothing but sunshine and roses, but what you are experiencing just doesn’t quite feel right. A fulfilling, satisfying, and healthy life has been elusive and despite your best efforts you cannot figure out exactly what is wrong or how to fix it. Whether it is a sadness that will not lift, relentless anxiety and stress, or that you find yourself in the same situations over and over again, I am here to help you clarify what is wrong and to identify ways you can effectively navigate the difficulties you have been facing.
