Working in the social service field, I saw the need for more therapists. I love using my learned experience and life experience to support people who are in different challenging situations. I love the whole process of therapy—working from start to finish, and being able to see positive progress. It's so gratifying when people can say, 'You know, I remember struggling with this issue and now it's not so impactful for me.'

While doing individual therapy, I saw there was a need for therapists who specialize in OCD. I wanted to be able to support the people I was working with more in that area.

I have experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and behavioral concerns. I've worked with a variety of age groups, from children to adults of any age.

We're starting this journey together, and we're here to learn together. Let's identify the goals you'd like to reach and the areas you'll want to work on. Therapy is definitely a learning experience, but it's worth it in the end.

A level of vulnerability is required to be successful in therapy. However, if you're afraid, that's OK. Take your time. Share what you're comfortable sharing. We'll work through one issue or concern at a time, so things don't feel overwhelming.
