Living with OCD can feel lonely. But you are not alone, and relief is possible. I bring a warm, supportive, and engaging approach to therapy, blending empathy, humor, and evidence-based care. My work is shaped by personal experience with anxiety, depression, and having a loved one with OCD. I strive to create a space where you can show up as your authentic self and feel truly supported. In addition to OCD, I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, and neurodivergent individuals, and I support LGBTQIA+ and Spanish-speaking communities.
