About

As a therapist, I want to create an environment where you'll be comfortable enough to be open and honest with me. I will reciprocate that openness and honesty, and I'll gently push you to break out of your comfort zone. When I'm not doing therapy, I love to do CrossFit. I took a break to have a baby, but now I'm back at it.

OCD can be so all-consuming. You can feel so debilitated from it, and when you're in it, you may feel like there's no way out. It's so dark, and you don't know where to look. But this treatment is highly effective, and I’ll be with you along the whole journey.
