I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based CBT (I- CBT) to treat OCD, while integrating attachment-based and IFS-informed therapy and mindfulness.
You appear high-functioning, but your mind won’t slow down. OCD, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, rumination, or constant overthinking keep you stuck and exhausted. You may manage work, family, and responsibilities well—while internally feeling anxious, on edge, or trapped in mental loops. If you’re tired of coping and want lasting relief, you’re in the right place. I specialize in OCD and anxiety therapy for teens, adults, and couples, treating intrusive thoughts, scrupulosity, perfectionism, reassurance-seeking, mental checking, and overanalysis. I also help clients struggling with anxious relationship patterns and attachment wounds.

Let’s be honest, talking about sex or just your most intimate feelings can feel awkward, vulnerable, or even scary, especially with a stranger you found online (Hey!). You don’t need to have it all figured out. I’ll help guide the conversation, whether that’s with yourself or with your partner. Maybe intimacy feels more complicated than it used to. You miss the connection you had before stress, babies, or the realities of life created distance you can’t quite move past. Or life feels heavier than you expected, and you’re struggling to feel connected to anything that feels good. I offer space to slow down and rebuild connection.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and adaptable, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Person-Centered Therapy.
Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming. Some days, we feel in control; other days, we are simply trying to get through. It's easy to get caught up in comparisons and judgments about how our lives or bodies should look, or how we should act. Many of us struggle with feeling not enough or like we are failing. Often, we hold onto habits and thought patterns that once helped us but now hold us back or steal our joy.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you become aware of current thought patterns, and explore how thoughts affect your emotions and behaviors.
You might feel overwhelmed, constantly overthinking, or stuck in patterns that are hard to break. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, your mind may feel busy, anxious, or on edge. If you’ve experienced trauma, those feelings can be even more intense—showing up in your thoughts, your body, and your relationships. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to carry that alone.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
