Having overcome my own challenges with OCD, I'm deeply passionate about helping others facing similar struggles. I don't want anyone to continue suffering when there's an effective treatment option like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is life-changing, and it works. I create a supportive and empathetic therapy environment. I'll empower you to face your challenges with confidence and resilience. My goal is to equip you with the tools you need to manage your symptoms and lead a fulfilling life. I also specialize in treating depression, anxiety and addiction.

My personal connection to OCD and mental health

I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 20 years old and it was pretty intense. All of a sudden, I'm doubting all these things. It was tough to figure out what it was because I'd never heard of it before. I've been in recovery for over 15 years due to finding the right combination of medication and therapy.

How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy

Being somebody that has struggled with OCD and is on the other side of it—I think that's very encouraging for Members. I'll always find something in common with people, too, whether it's where we've lived, being a parent, or something we'd both like to do. There's always a connection point; it's just a matter of figuring that out with everybody.

What I want to help you see in yourself

Your strength and resilience. This can be hard, but you can do it, and it's worth it to get to the other side.

My message to you if you're struggling right now

You're not going to get rid of all your anxiety, but you are going to learn to coexist with your OCD and live your life—even if it's still there in the background, you can learn to turn the volume down on it.
