About

Anxiety and OCD can feel exhausting and take away the joy from everyday life. If you're ready to start the journey toward beating anxiety or OCD, I'd be honored to join you on that rewarding journey. I work with adults and teens who struggle with nonstop worry thoughts, intrusive/disturbing obsessive thoughts, panic symptoms, social anxiety, and related issues. Our work will focus on empowering you with science-backed coping tools that can help you get back in the driver's seat of your own life. I also work with parents to help them learn effective ways to support their child (of any age) struggling with anxiety or OCD. I specialize in working with teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety and OCD. I have expertise in evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also have extensive training in the SPACE therapy approach for parents.
