I work with teens, adults, and neurodivergent couples navigating ADHD, OCD, anxiety, phobias, autism, burnout, emotional regulation, and relationship concerns.
You may know that something is getting in the way, but not fully understand why.

When anxiety, trauma, or betrayal shakes your relationship, you don’t just need coping skills - you need a safe guide who understands the deeper layers.

If you’re tired of surviving and ready for real healing, you’re in the right place.

I believe in creating an environment which serves as a ‘soft place to land’ for my clients. When children are challenged, the entire family is challenged. By creating a positive environment where children feel accepted, valued, and safe, they are able to make sense of their world by expressing themselves in a way that feels natural to them. Children do not always have words to communicate their struggles and can become overwhelmed by big emotions. As a Registered Play Therapist, I strive to give voice to these challenges and support caregivers in navigating the sometimes difficult and very important job of parenting.

There is always hope. Why we feel the way we do, how we seem to always get stuck or how we can't seem to navigate through challenging life events are questions that, with help, we can answer. When life presents these concerns, we're often left experiencing feelings and thoughts we can no longer manage on our own, and we may also feel disconnected from ourselves, others and our world. Working together, we can understand how your thoughts and past experiences influence the way you perceive and interact with the world around you, today.

We specialize in virtual behavioral health care for OCD, ADHD, Traumatic Stress, and Eating Disorders.
You may be feeling unsure, scared, frustrated, and uncertain. One client described their symptoms like, "You've lost all touch with reality. Your brain takes over all of your thoughts and you believe them. Even when you try your hardest not to. You feel you'll never win and be in control again." They felt powerless against their own mind.

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.
