Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I grew up in a household with OCD. I know how much distress OCD and anxiety can bring, and I'm passionate about helping people with OCD gain access to care in an understanding environment. You don't have to walk in feeling strong or brave; you just have to be open and willing to try. All feelings are allowed to exist, and you can learn to be present with your feelings. In addition to OCD, I treat general anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, body dysmorphia, phobias (with a special interest in emetophobia), and health anxiety.
