I am especially interested in working with concerns related to anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and LGBTQIA experiences.
I am drawn to people who are willing to understand themselves better. You might be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps. You may be carrying unresolved pain, navigating life transitions, questioning your identity, or trying to make sense of patterns in your relationships. Many of the people I work with want relief from anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. They want clarity, confidence, deeper self-compassion, and more meaningful connections. In our work together, we would gently explore your needs and goals collaboratively and move at a pace that feels safe and steady.

You may be feeling weighed down by anxiety, low mood, body-image struggles, or the pressure to keep going when everything feels heavy. Maybe you’re a teen, young adult, or parent trying to make sense of who you are while managing stress, expectations, or identity questions. You want relief, connection, and a place where you can show up as your full self. Therapy becomes a space where you can slow down, feel seen, and begin to set some of that weight down—one step at a time.

Starting therapy is a courageous step, and whether you're just beginning or returning to this work, I honor your willingness to show up. Life can be hard sometimes.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
