I focus on helping members gradually confront their fears through structured exposures while resisting the urge to engage in compulsions. I create a collaborative, supportive therapeutic relationship to ensure members feel understood and empowered throughout their journey. Therapy is a safe and confidential space designed to support open and honest communication. By combining these strategies, I aim to provide a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan that addresses both the cognitive and behavioral aspects of OCD. My other areas of professional focus include anxiety, depression, and specific phobias.

She is literally the best therapist I’ve ever had and has completely changed my life. I will never work with another therapist as long as I can work with her. She is so understanding and compassionate, but also helps me face my fear at the same time. Highly recommend her and her skills.
