My approach to OCD therapy is gentle but firm. I'll encourage you to challenge yourself to leave your comfort zone and do hard things. I'll also leave space for moments of overwhelm and self-compassion. It won't always be easy, but it will be worth it. There is no such thing as a linear recovery — some days it feels like we're taking two steps forward and one step back, but that's still a net gain of one! My other focus areas include anxiety, depression, crisis care, and trauma, particularly generational trauma.

Coming up on a year of therapy and still learning new tools! (Thank you, Amalia!)

Amalia is the best therapist I’ve ever worked with! She’s supportive and understanding of my issues—even those that seem too specific or shameful. She challenges me when necessary, but always has my back. I’d recommend her to anyone!
