My approach to treating OCD is friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. My goal is to truly meet you where you are, while helping you embrace discomfort and believe in your ability to do hard things. We will celebrate all moments throughout the process, no matter how big or small. With OCD, little by little, a little becomes a lot. I chose to specialize in treating OCD because the treatments are effective, making OCD a highly manageable condition. My other areas of professional focus include PTSD and complex PTSD, depression, and eating disorders.

My work centers around those that identify as LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, and/or beautifully complex misfits just trying to find their place in a complicated world. Many are navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or relationship challenges in systems that weren’t built for them. Many are exploring & living polyamory or kink, or are simply trying to find their place in a world that expects conformity. Many are experiencing life transitions like peri/menopause or aging. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings warmth, humor, and radical acceptance, you found her.

Therapy looks different for everyone, because everyone comes into therapy with different needs. In general, therapy works by us having lots of (often weekly, sometimes more often, just shy of an hour-long) conversations in which we get to know your mind and heart to help you find answers to what you are struggling with. To get to know you better, I will encourage you to share with me thoughts, emotions, images… everything that comes to your mind. Nothing is off limits, and the hardest or most awkward things to talk about can yield the biggest benefits.

Normal is a setting on a dryer. We are all unique and valid with vast minds. We all have different situations and I believe in using those pieces to heal and build strength. While I specialize in trauma, neurodivergence, addiction, and mood, our struggles are usually not that one note or simple. I focus on all aspects of who you and where you want to be, building a strong relationship based on empathy, trust and non judgement. Life is rough, we lose sight of our way, stop seeing the beauty, forget who we are, feel stuck or changed. It takes courage to be vulnerable and reality is we are imperfectly perfect.

I work with struggles like anxiety, perfectionism, body image distress, disordered eating, trauma and hoarding.
You're feeling anxious, overwhelmed or maybe even fearful of the future. All you've been wanting is to feel understood and validated by those around you. You remember times when you've felt better, more yourself, but now you just feel so disconnected. Going through challenges like these can feel really isolating, but you do not need to go it alone. Connecting with a therapist can be a great way to start your healing process. My favorite part of being a therapist is having the opportunity to sit across from someone and help them feel seen, valued and understood, while also offering day to day tools to help them feel better.

What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.
How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.
Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.
Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
