I approach OCD therapy through the lens of compassion and calmness. My sessions focus on balance: I'm transparent and can be firm, but I understand the importance of flexibility, creativity, collaboration, and strong communication. You are the expert on your own life, and I will work with you where you are. This is a safe space for new learning, and we will celebrate every win. In addition to OCD, I have experience treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I offer inclusive, culturally responsive counseling.

As I continue on my journey to recover from OCD, I still find myself sometimes developing new compulsions. Val has helped me to have a safe place to discuss these compulsions and understand the fears that fuel those compulsions while also reminding me about the importance of accepting discomfort and uncertainty.
