I specialize in treating OCD because I want to work in a community I truly understand. I was diagnosed with OCD in my twenties after struggling with intrusive thoughts. I also have experience treating ADHD and substance use disorder, and I have real empathy for people affected by those conditions. I am the parent of a child with ADHD, and originally worked with the substance use population because of my family history. The most gratifying part of my job is watching people come in at their heaviest emotional points and seeing them leave with a sense of freedom.
