Why I became a therapist and chose to specialize in OCD
One of my passions, both professionally and personally, is hearing people's stories and understanding who they are. Part of that is exploring with people and helping them reach their full potential in life. I love walking through that process with my Members and helping them take back their lives from OCD.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
Starting therapy may feel intimidating or scary, and I encourage you to show up as your authentic self. As a therapist, I promise to be engaged, very present, mindful, and overall walk alongside you in your treatment and care. I also have extensive experience treating people across different races, ethnicities, and the LGBTQIA+ community. All are welcome in this space.
What you can expect from me as your therapist
I lead with empathy and truly try to understand where you are and what you might be feeling or thinking. I highly value that in the therapy process. I also highly value humor—laughing with others, sometimes not taking things so seriously, and finding humor in what we can.
My message to you if you're considering therapy
If you're feeling unsure, scared, or hesitant about starting exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, those feelings are valid and may continue to come up in therapy. But ERP is the most effective form of treatment because it works and can help you take back your life from OCD. I encourage you to remember this throughout the process: You're doing it for yourself and for the people you love in your life, so you can live your best life.
