I have family members who've suffered significantly from OCD and anxiety. I've seen them at their worst, but I've also seen them thrive. I like to help free people from the prisons our minds can create. My approach is warm and down to earth. I will work diligently to understand your unique story and lived experience. I want you to feel like you can open up and just be yourself. Therapy can be hard work, but we'll have some fun along the way. I ascribe to the theory that people can get through things better with laughter.

My personal connection to OCD and mental health
OCD runs in my family. I've seen it at its worst, and I've also seen people learn how to heal and manage their OCD. Seeing that process and knowing that people can take back their autonomy motivates me and gives me faith.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I'm laid-back and open, and I let people take their time. If I see that something is difficult for you to share, I might encourage you a little, but I have no problem being patient and waiting until you can eventually share those vulnerabilities with me. Therapy is not a race. It's a journey. I know people need time to warm up and see that they can trust me, and I have the patience to let that unfold naturally.
My approach to ERP therapy
I am a very high-energy person. I bring my all to every single session because I care very deeply for each and every person I work with, and I want to see them get better. I also have a way of bringing levity to situations that might seem very difficult or tough—when it's appropriate. I like to teach my Members to have a little fun while we're doing this work together.
My favorite ERP therapy victories
I especially love when I get to see my Members change the way they respond to OCD's sense of urgency, or let go of the need to fix, solve, and make better. When people are able to recognize that those mental compulsions aren't helping them move forward, and learn how to turn them off, that's probably one of my most treasured successes.
