She/They
Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker
About
Like many people, I was diagnosed with OCD many years after my symptoms appeared. That's why I'm passionate about supporting members through their personal journeys. As a therapist, I'm direct and compassionate, adding a touch of humor when appropriate. I approach ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) with curiosity, and I'll empower you to tell your story authentically. ERP can be challenging, but we will work on it together. You are brave and worthy of happiness! My other areas of focus include anxiety, depressive disorders, and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

I feel that I’ve made no progress. I am still where I was when I joined. Doubtful that this is even helping

I was having a really bad day, I expressed frustration and anger and excitement over what I was going thru and the therapist handled it like a champ and didn't flee away, but got me to a point where I slowed down and started talking instead of raising my voice. That's not easy for a therapist to do and I really respect that they were able to do that. So far, this therapy experience has been the best I've ever tried.
