I treat people who have OCD with compassion and understanding—and the knowledge that it never looks the same in any two people. My philosophy is that we have to be in partnership to treat and overcome OCD. I will join you in utilizing the most effective strategies to facilitate the greatest degree of growth. We are meant to pursue life with the tools we acquire, not to be trapped by unreasonable fears. My other areas of clinical focus include anxiety and depression, autism spectrum disorders, substance use, K-12 academic disorders, and couples counseling.

Why our members love working with Rain
K.A.
I can't say enough good things about working with Rain. She's fun, upbeat, and encouraging. But also - she's smart, practical, knowledgable, understanding, and empathetic. She explains things to me in a straightforward way, and calls out things I need to hear (as she knows that I respond well to that type of feedback.) I truly feel fortunate to have been able to find a therapist that I have as good a match with, and who takes the time to understand and truly see me, and meet me where I am.
K.A.
Rain is so encouraging, empathetic and understanding. She proves she really cares, listens, and wants to set me up for success. I'm seeing progress and it's really encouraging.
K.A.
Rain is a wonderful therapist; she's empathetic, understanding, relatable, and down to earth. She made me feel comfortable from our very first session and I'm really thankful that I've found her. She is patient and explains things in a way that's understandable. By using the tools she's already shared with me and talking through my obsessions in a safe, supportive environment, I am already seeing the benefits of therapy at work.
D.M.
Rain has helped me recognize and reduce my compulsions DRASTICALLY. Rumination used to feel automatic, now it actively feels like a choice I choose not to make. This is huge for me!
D.M.
Even after two weeks my improvement and emotional stability are marked. I still have background anxiety, but I am confident I can get on the other side of this and be better for it.
D.M.
We focus on ERP every session, and I am provided with the tools and advice to stay on track. I feel a smidge of happiness and hope for the first time in a while.
D.M.
I feel confident in recovery for the first time in a while. Rain is sensitive and professional. She makes sure I stay focused on the ERP work.
