My journey to becoming a therapist started at age 12, inspired by a natural inclination to help people through their struggles. I'm very honest and upfront, but I try to approach therapy from a joyful space, often using humor to help us navigate difficult challenges. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances allows us to diagnose and treat it effectively.

I believe life can be viewed like a book where the individual is both reader and author. We are born into a story that is started for us. As we grow we have the opportunity to actively shape and change our narrative. This perspective highlights our agency in writing our own journey rather than acting as a passive participant. I love working with children and people from all walks of life. A strong therapeutic relationship and genuine connection is foundational to create a sense of comfort and allow for growth.

Everyone struggles from time to time - what's important is how we respond to the struggle. I believe struggle turns to suffering when we refuse to accept what we cannot change or when we passively accept what can be changed. In my practice I help people learn to avoid suffering by changing the things they can and accepting the things they can't change. Using a variety of skills and techniques, I help people learn how to thrive - even in the face of struggle - while being true to themselves and effective in their interactions with others.

I work with teens (16+) and adults from all walks of life. Many people I work with seek support surrounding anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or relational wounds.

Other areas of interest include working with LGBTQIA communities, 1st and 2nd generation immigrants, as well as exploring the impact of generational trauma, identity development, and grief and loss.
Many of people I work with are functioning well on the surface but underneath they are carrying emotional pain or a sense of disconnection. Some are navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, or the impact of past experiences that still echo in the present. Others are simply tired of repeating the same patterns and long for a different way of being, one that feels more aligned with who they truly are. I work with individuals and couples who seek deeper self-understanding and more fulfilling, connected ways of living and relating.
