This is a non-judgmental space where you can share difficult things, including what you may not tell others. I’ll help you understand that you are more than a diagnosis, build confidence in explaining what you’re going through, and recognize the small wins that lead to bigger changes. My questions come from curiosity, not judgment, and we’ll work collaboratively so your goals reflect what matters to you. I also have experience treating depression, anxiety, panic, and phobias.

Why I became a therapist
I became a therapist because I really wanted to help people by providing a judgment-free zone—someplace where you can explain the things you're going through without fear of being judged. I decided to specialize in OCD because many of the people I was working with who had generalized anxiety disorders or phobias also had OCD. I wanted to better understand how to help them and see better outcomes in their lives.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I like to create a judgment-free zone where every question comes from genuine curiosity, not judgment. We'll work together to make sure your treatment plan aligns with your goals. I also want to normalize that there may be difficult conversations. You might tell me things you've never told anyone else, and that's okay. I'll never judge. My goal is to build trust so you can feel empowered to be who you truly want to be.
My message to you if you're considering therapy
Starting therapy can feel a little scary, especially when you're sharing things you may not have shared with anyone before. I want you to know this is a collaborative effort. Any tools or exposures we practice will be ones we agree on together, and we'll take them at a pace that works best for you.
Helping you understand yourself with confidence
One part of my approach is helping you understand OCD and what you're experiencing. I want you to be able to describe your diagnosis just as well as I can. My hope is that this builds confidence—not only when talking with me, but also when explaining what you're going through to others.
