Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant chatter in your mind? The “what-ifs” and worst-case scenarios can be really draining. Let’s break that cycle of anxious thoughts and start focusing on choices that bring more joy into your life. Our daily decisions shape our lives, so let’s think about whether you’re making choices based on fear or on what truly matters to you. As an OCD specialist, I believe in building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients right from the start. We’ll work together in a collaborative and supportive way throughout the therapy process, focusing on what works best for you.

I've been extensively trained in exposure and response prevention (ERP), which is the gold-standard for OCD. I am also trained in Prolonged Exposure for trauma, DBT, ACT, and CBT. If you appreciate a direct and warm approach and you're ready to work hard, then we will be a good fit!

My favorite part about treating OCD is watching my clients transform from fearful to feisty. Seeing my clients gain confidence by pushing themselves inspires me to live outside of my own comfort zone! I see it as my job to hold you accountable and cheer you on as you strive for progress.
