I create an open, non-judgmental space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, even when it feels uncomfortable. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and focused on helping you work through challenges while feeling supported. You’re not alone in this. I’ll listen to your story, respect your boundaries, and help you recognize the possibilities for meaningful change. With the right tools and support, you can take meaningful steps toward your goals. I also have experience with how OCD can overlap with personality-related concerns, depression, bipolar-related concerns, severe trauma, and substance use concerns.

Why I chose to specialize in OCD
I came into this field hoping to help people, and my saying was always, 'It matters to just one.' If I could help just one person today or one person this year, then I've done well in my career. I wasn't very familiar with OCD until later in my profession, and I quickly realized how debilitating it can be and how many people don't realize there are resources out there to help them. There are types of therapy that can help you learn to be uncomfortable and move through it.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I make this space as open and non-judgmental as possible. I'll follow your lead. Whatever you give me and whatever boundaries you push, I'm right here, and we're going to work through this together. I want you to feel safe and supported through this journey. I'm here to make sure that you feel like you're not alone, because you're not now.
What I find most rewarding about being a therapist
The most rewarding part of being a therapist is seeing how much growth someone can achieve. Watching someone meet their goals and expectations is one of my favorite parts of what I do.
How my life experience shapes me as a therapist
What makes unique as a therapist is my life experience—being able to say, "You know what? I've been there, and that doesn't feel good," and taking that raw and vulnerable feeling, and really understanding it. At the end of the day, I'm just as human as you are, and I think it can be helpful to lean into that.
