I specialize in working with young adults and adults experiencing high-functioning anxiety, OCD, and life transitions.
On the outside, it may look like you have everything together—but internally, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of overthinking. If intrusive thoughts, constant worry, or major life changes are taking a toll, you’re not alone. Therapy can help you slow down, gain clarity, and feel more in control. Many individuals are navigating periods of change—college, career shifts, or relationship stress—while managing internal pressure, perfectionism, or persistent worry. Together, we work to better understand these patterns and develop practical, effective tools to reduce anxiety and create lasting change.

So often we suffer traumas and emotional struggles, feeling like no one will understand or not knowing where to turn. This is one of the reasons I chose to become a counselor. My role in my client's lives is to provide a different outlook and to evaluate possible solutions. I provide my clients with a safe and supportive environment, free of judgement or criticism, where meeting their goals is top priority. I help my clients recognize their choices, as well as the means to get there, and together we will work towards achieving those desired goals.

Healing begins where you feel safe. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you’re always “on,” even when you’re exhausted. Whether it came from loss, betrayal, abuse, or unsafe relationships, you deserve a space where you can finally breathe. My goal is to offer therapy that feels safe, supportive, real, and even a little lighter at times because healing doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. The kind of space where you can show up as you are: strong, guarded, hopeful, messy…all of it! As a trauma survivor, I bring deep compassion and lived understanding into our work. You don’t have to carry this alone.

I am trained in EMDR as a model of therapy that can be used for clients with several mental health conditions including PTSD, anxiety, OCD, etc.
There are times in life when it feels like we just can’t catch a break. Maybe it’s relationships that fall apart, maybe its constant crises, maybe it is prior traumas or experiences that come up in our daily lives. Chaos and emotional instability can make getting through the day feel impossible, but you do not have to go through it alone. Being overwhelmed and feeling broken doesn’t have to be your normal. My goal is to help clients learn what is keeping them from fully experiencing peace and then build the tools to stop living in constant fight or flight.

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.
