This is a safe, supportive environment where we'll work as a team—your voice and feedback matter. I lead with empathy, compassion, and respect. I bring my authentic self to sessions, using curiosity, warmth, and humor to build connection and find common ground. I truly want to get to know you as a person, because you are so much more than your OCD. I also have experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and related conditions. I consider myself an ally to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and social justice is important to me.
