Most days, you wake up with dread that settles in before your feet even touch the floor. It’s as if your mind starts racing before you’re fully awake, spinning through every worst-case scenario and pulling your attention away from the present before the day has even begun. Friends and family tell you to “just think positively,” not realizing that if it were that simple, you would have fixed this years ago. The constant worry, the looping thoughts, the pressure to hold it all together… it’s utterly exhausting. You barely remember what it feels like to move through the day without fear overshadowing your every move and decision.

You look high-functioning—but you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering: am I autistic or ADHD? Maybe you’ve been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or told you’re “fine,” yet everything still feels harder than it should. You’ve spent years masking and pushing through burnout. Now you want clarity, self-understanding, and support that works with your brain—not more pressure to “try harder.”
I help high-functioning, late-diagnosed or questioning neurodivergent adults understand themselves, reduce burnout, and build lives that actually fit their needs.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and my area of focus is working with children, adolescents, and adults.
With children, and adolescents, I create a comfortable, trusting, and fun environment. This allows me to get beyond the observable behavior, and to target in on what's beneath the surface. The same can largely be said in how I approach adult clients, but with a deeper level of self discovery into cognitive thought.

My approach to treating OCD begins with understanding your individual experience and what matters most to you. I create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard and understood. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) can be difficult, but it’s a powerful tool to help you overcome fears and build lasting change. We’ll face challenges together at a pace that feels right for you.
Beyond OCD, I also work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), and substance use concerns.

Are you someone who struggles with intense anxiety and unsure of why the things you’re doing to work through it like cleaning, getting reassurance, telling yourself to stop, isn’t working? In relationships do you find yourself unsure of how to respond to conflict or keep finding yourself in the same position with a significant other? Have you had something in the past that has triggered fear responses or an internal reaction of something that reminds you of that event? If any of those are you, I want you to know that I work with these cases on a daily basis and would love to get to know your situation more personally.

Welcome!
I am currently accepting new patients for therapy and testing. Testing can be a wonderful starting point for treatment, as it can help clarify diagnoses and pinpoint treatment goals for the purpose of psychotherapy. If you’re not quite sure where to start with treatment, testing may be a good option. If you'd like to get a feel for my approach, you can also check out my podcast, Psyched for Sanity, where we talk about emotions, relationships, and mental health in a practical, accessible way.

In OCD therapy with me, I'll help you face intrusive thoughts and fears in a safe, controlled environment — without engaging compulsive behaviors. You'll have a supportive space to gradually confront your OCD and regain balance, confidence, and a sense of control in both your personal and professional life. Beyond OCD treatment, my areas of focus include depression, ADHD, stress, career exploration, and relationship issues — which often interconnect with OCD. Addressing the broader context helps foster long-term resilience and better mental health.
