The cornerstone of my approach to effective OCD treatment is building a strong therapeutic relationship. Bring your life experiences, and I will meet you where you are. Together, we'll develop coping skills and strategies. I grew up in a community where mental health was surrounded by stigma, so I'm committed to providing a safe and supportive space for healing. It’s my honor to walk alongside you during this effective, evidence-based treatment, which can help you reclaim your life from OCD. My other areas of professional focus include trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Good experience

I can't say enough wonderful things about my therapist. Working with her has truly changed my life. When I first started therapy, I was struggling with anxiety and trichotillomania, and I honestly didn't know if things could get better. Through her patience, kindness, and guidance, she helped me make progress I never thought was possible. Using Habit Reversal Training, she gave me practical tools that helped me regain control in a way that felt achievable and empowering. More than that, she created a space where I always felt safe, heard, and never judged. She celebrated every step forward with me and helped me through the setbacks with so much compassion. Because of her support, I feel like I've gotten my life back. I'm leaving therapy feeling stronger, more confident, and equipped with skills I'll carry with me for years to come. I will always be incredibly grateful for everything she's done for me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and has the ability to make a lasting difference in someone's life.
