My website

I primarily work with adults struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, disordered eating, and relationship challenges of all kinds. I'm here to help you explore what it means for you to live a life beyond survival, to identify your needs, your values, and integrate all the parts of yourself so that you can practice living optimally well. Finding a therapist can be a daunting task so it's my hope to simplify your search and start with the important details: I'm happy to do a consult at no cost, I do not take insurance, I do provide superbills and I will absolutley explain how those work.

I am an OCD and trauma therapist with an integrative approach to mental health. This means, we look at all the determinants of your health (occupation, body, relational, emotional, spiritual, environment) in making plans for what practices will best serve your needs and goals in therapy.

Everyone needs support sometimes. It's a privilege to get to witness you asking for and receiving the support you need. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, feel free to email or call to set up a 10-15 minute consultation.

Whether we're working with OCD, trauma, or relationship concerns as the primary target, a self-compassion and mindfulness framework is foundational to our work together. Learning to practice self-compassion and acceptance of the things we can and cannot change is what makes treatment most effective and sustainable.

Through all the types of treatment I use, Clients learn to integrate the information our emotions and physical sensations are offering, in order to live a more meaningful life where distress/stressors are more easily managed. I emphasize to all my clients that most of what you learn in therapy are ongoing practices and that very few things in therapy are items we check off in a linear fashion.
