Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy ( ACT), and mindfulness techniques, we will work together to overcome anxiety and OCD.
I specialize in delivering evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders. The science is clear on what therapy works best for these issues, yet often clients who need it most never access the right type of care. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) treatment is considered the gold standard, and while many providers implement various CBT tools and techniques, they are not incorporated in a structured way as the research indicates. With over a decade of experience and thousands of hours delivering CBT treatments, I have cultivated a profound understanding on how to help folks with these issues.

I have engaged with specialized trainings in neurodivergence, infertility and ACT therapy.
Our relationship with ourselves is life-long and at times, takes the back seat in our own lives. Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed as life continues to move forward while you have found less joy in things you used to love. You feel stuck as if you’re losing parts of yourself, or maybe you aren’t sure who you are just yet. As time has gone on, your relationship with yourself may have shifted as you navigated school, career and developing relationships and community. Our struggles may make it feel like we carry around a burden of pain. Life appears to find ways to enable us to walk around our pain or over it but not through it.

In therapy I strive to understand and clarify my clients' goals and help them work toward building insight around their concerns.

Our relationships—with ourselves and others—are fundamental to our overall wellbeing. Yet, for many, past wounds can create barriers to connecting in the ways we long for. I work with clients to identify the coping mechanisms that once helped them navigate life but are no longer serving them in the present. By exploring these survival strategies, we create space to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others. Through this practice of self- acceptance, we can begin to build the deeper, more meaningful connections we've been longing for. I see therapy as a safe space to practice the vulnerability that brings true intimacy.
