I'm a patient, empathetic, and structured therapist, and an effective listener. I approach therapy with genuine concern for your well-being. I unconditionally love people and enjoy seeing them at their best. Over the years, I've seen the challenges individuals face with OCD. Helping combat those challenges is rewarding. I love seeing the change, growth, excitement, and freedom individuals experience during the therapeutic process. Besides OCD, my professional areas of focus include substance abuse and working with children, families, and couples.

My personal connection to OCD

My mom suffered from OCD, and I actually didn't know until I took abnormal psychology in college. The professor was describing OCD and it just hit me—I recognized everything my mom would do. That helps me relate to my Members, because it's like a revelation when you're learning about OCD. Now you can truly get the work done because you have more information, and knowledge is power.

How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy

I want Members to see that I'm genuine and I'm a real person. If I have a story that relates to what you're talking about, I'll share it to show that I understand your journey and you're not alone. I'm also a pet mom—I have dogs and cats—and my Members' pets will come to our sessions, too! Their cats will sit behind them, or they'll have their dog on their lap.

What I want to help you see in yourself

Your tenacity and your strength. I've had some pretty tricky cases, where they're debilitated and can't leave the house, and I'll say, "Let's start small." We just need movement, just something different that you can do, even if it's not hitting the snooze button tomorrow morning. When you see that you can do it, you start to believe.
