Are you bothered by thoughts that you just want to wipe from your mind? Do you experience physical sensations that are so uncomfortable you can barely stand it? Does a sense of dread weigh on you, as though something terrible is about to happen? You don't have to feel this way and you don't have to deal with it alone. My approach to treatment is one of compassion and collaboration. Therapy doesn't have to be mysterious or scary. I enjoy working with those who are new to therapy and want to help you feel comfortable and in control.

Most of my clients come into therapy with symptoms of anxiety. It may be related to an anxiety disorder, such as OCD, or it could be a result of past trauma or current stress. Whatever the cause, anxiety is interfering with the life they envision. We work together to develop a plan that will minimize the impact of anxiety and maximize value in your life.

Therapy doesn't have to be mysterious or scary. I will explain each step of the process and use humor and compassion along the way!

Most of my work with clients focuses on developing small, step-by-step plans to gradually approach difficult situations or slowly create new habits. This starts with understanding the roots of your distress, instruction on how mental health disorders operate and how your current approaches are interfering with success and then, together, we start taking small steps toward big change.
