I bring a grounded, relational approach to therapy and believe in showing up authentically so you can feel comfortable doing the same. I stay curious, open, and genuinely interested in who you are, what makes you unique, and what you’re passionate about. I value the trust you place in me and believe it’s a privilege to be part of your therapeutic process. Let’s help you grow more into yourself and build a life that reflects what matters to you. I also have experience with how OCD can overlap with trauma and PTSD.

Get to know Rae

Why I became a therapist and chose to specialize in OCD

I wanted to become a therapist after my own experiences with mental health and mental health care, and how critical it was to have people I felt comfortable enough to go to and open up with. I decided to specialize in OCD because of all the misinformation and misdiagnosis around it. I want to help make the things we're often taught not to do, say, or even think about a more comfortable experience to talk about.

How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy

I create a safe, supportive environment by being authentically myself and bringing my whole self into the therapy space. I stay curious, open, and interested in who you are and what makes you unique. I really love learning who people are and what they're passionate about.

My message to you if you're considering ERP

If you're feeling hesitant, scared, or unsure about starting exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, I want you to know that what you're feeling is real. Scary things are scary, and we'll do it together. You're not alone in what you're going through, and it does get better. Sometimes the scary things, the hard things, are some of the most rewarding.

What makes my approach to therapy different

I bring a really grounded and relational approach to treatment that's rooted in both professional and personal understanding and experience with obsessions and compulsions.
