I always wanted to help people, even from a very young age. I also deeply value connection with others, and being a therapist allows me to do both!

I wanted to specialize in OCD so I could give people the proper treatment they deserve. Because OCD is often misdiagnosed and mistreated, I wanted to become part of the solution in getting people on a path to recovery. I love the moments in treatment when something “clicks” for the member—the moment something is brought to the surface or finally makes sense—and seeing the pride and satisfaction someone gets from their hard work and progress.

I have also focused on eating disorders, anxiety, depression and trauma. Like OCD, they also impact a large percentage of the population and can cause a great deal of distress.

ERP can be challenging and uncomfortable. You might feel a lot of different emotions all at the same time, and you probably won’t want to feel them. ERP is meant to be honest and collaborative in helping you gain long-term relief from OCD, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Remember that I'm not here to judge or criticize your thoughts. They can be difficult to say out loud, and you might be saying them out loud for the first time. It’s normal to feel afraid. We can start small to build a trusting relationship. Therapy is a safe place to talk about the thoughts that have been bothering you.
