My number-one goal as a therapist is to offer a safe environment where you can share openly, be understood, and not be judged. I've done therapy myself, and I know you can get better faster if you're open and honest. Everything we do will be collaborative, but I also provide tough love. In the end, I'm that older sibling who taught you life isn't rainbows and butterflies all the time, providing you with a sense of humor and ways to confront anxiety without compulsions. OCD therapy may seem scary, but in the end, it is so worth it.

Good experienceShe’s so good at guiding me to appropriate responses when it feels like my world is crumbling around me. The tools I reluctantly learned months ago have become absolutely invaluable.

Good experienceExcellent! I am on the way to managing my OCD with the exercises she provided me. I am thankful for ERP therapy, I could have never faced this on my own. I never thought this would happen yet here we are!
