Are you exhausted by constant worry, no matter what you do? Maybe it feels like your brain won't shut off, or you get stuck ruminating for hours without relief. You try to be present, but your thoughts always break through — leaving you drained and heavy. Many of my clients get caught in cycles of intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the need for certainty that never fully comes. But you're ready to make a change. To quiet the noise. To break the cycle. Most of all, you're ready to become a new version of yourself — one no longer defined by fear, doubt, or the weight of the past. That's exactly what we'll work toward together.
As a therapist specializing in OCD, anxiety, and trauma, I know it can be hard to open up about intrusive thoughts or past experiences. Whether caught in an anxiety cycle or carrying the weight of the past, therapy is a space to share what's heavy — free of judgment. I bring warmth and humor, with honest challenge when needed. We'll work through it together.
I'll meet you where you are in your healing journey. Together, we can find the relief you've been looking for — a life where you feel at ease with your thoughts, confident in your choices, and lighter than you've felt in a long time. You don't have to stay stuck in painful patterns, or do it alone. Message me for a free 15-minute consultation today.

I draw from ERP, ACT, and EMDR — but above everything, what matters most is that you feel safe, heard, and understood. Therapy here is never rigid or by the book. Some sessions are structured, some are conversational. We figure out together what actually helps.
