I bring a calm, compassionate presence to OCD therapy, especially when things feel overwhelming. I believe feeling safe comes first, so we’ll start by building rapport and moving at a steady, manageable pace. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy is a process; we’ll take things step by step and note gradual successes as they occur. This is a collaboration: If there's something you need from me, just let me know. In addition to OCD, I specialize in trauma, anxiety, family dynamics, and high-conflict situations, and I have experience as a registered play therapist.
