Welcome! I take a direct yet collaborative approach to therapy, helping you navigate challenges with a focus on practical solutions—and maybe even some laughter along the way. I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy as my primary treatment models. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where we can work together to help you move through life’s most distressing moments. I hold a BA in Psychology and an MSW with an emphasis in trauma. In my spare time, you’ll find me reading or surrounded by my loved ones—human and furry alike: two Pomeranians, four cats, and a Great Pyrenees. “Healing is hard. Not healing is hard. Choose your hard.” - (Many wise humans)
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Expect to laugh and maybe cry.......I like to jump right in on the problem then reverse engineer the issue to address contributing factors.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
You can expect an attentive clinician who will join with you in your journey towards freedom! I am humorous, warm & empathetic but will not hesitate to challenge you towards pressing into the hard work necessary for change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Are you ready to change? I like to address the whole person in session; how are you eating, sleeping, moving, thinking, do you have a support system?
