About
Sometimes life can feel really tough. Feelings of anxiety, depression, and grief are completely normal responses during these difficult times. As your therapist, my goal is to help you navigate the challenges that stand between you and a more satisfying, fulfilling life—whether they stem from recent struggles or long-held issues that have weighed on you for years. I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach to help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll build practical tools to manage OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and PTSD so you can feel more grounded and empowered every day. I provide evidence-based therapy for teens, adults, and couples facing anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and relationship challenges. I have advanced training in CBT, DBT, ERP, and I-CBT, with specialized expertise in OCD, phobias, and pelvic pain disorders. My approach is compassionate, trauma-aware, and neurodiversity-affirming.
