Many of my clients struggle with constant "what ifs," intrusive thoughts, or a nagging sense of worry they can’t shake. I often talk to people who struggle with checking things repeatedly to feel safe, or anxiety after a traumatic event has made daily life feel overwhelming. I also work with clients who are experiencing prenatal or postpartum anxiety and want to enjoy this time more fully. These feelings can be exhausting, defeating and isolating, but therapy with me means you don’t have to face anxiety or OCD alone. Support is available, and healing is possible.
I specialize in helping clients overcome symptoms of anxiety, OCD, postpartum anxiety, and phobias triggered by traumatic experiences. I am trained in CBT and EMDR, and also use ACT and ERP therapy modalities to tailor treatment to your unique needs. The techniques I use are grounded in research because you deserve treatment that actually works.
The most important part of our treatment process is our relationship. My priority is that you feel heard, respected and validated, because all too often we feel isolated, alone or unsupported. It's important to me that my clients have support and never have to shoulder the burden of anxiety, trauma or OCD alone.

Anxiety is a part of being human, so our goal isn't to eliminate it, but to help you manage it with confidence. I use evidence-based tools from CBT, ERP, ACT, and EMDR to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Our goal is to help you respond to anxiety in healthier, more effective ways.

I primarily use CBT, ACT, ERP and other evidence-based treatments to help individuals manage and overcome their symptoms of anxiety and OCD. For those who have experienced trauma, we can utilize EMDR to process these experiences. These techniques and research driven and effective for changing negative thought patterns, reducing distressing behaviors, and building coping skills for lasting change.
