I believe people generally want to be happy, effective, and successful in their lives. Working from a client-centered approach, I aim to display unconditional empathy and genuine support to strengthen the therapeutic relationship and help you on your journey to a more holistic, congruent view of yourself. Effective OCD treatment means challenging yourself to do those things you fear—not just speak about them. With therapy, change is easy to see, but it takes your hard work and dedication to do the opposite of what has been protecting you from stress, anxiety, and fear. Living in an OCD cycle is distressing and time consuming, but often times comfortable; its repetitive and ritualistic nature provides a false sense of safety and control. Effective OCD treatment requires a willingness to abandoned your tried and true (though unhealthy) methods try something new. Together, we can enact the change you’d like to see in your life.
In our first session together, we'll start with getting to know one another. Feel free to ask me any questions or concerns you have! We'll then dive into the specific challenges you're facing and collaborate to make a plan to get you feeling better.
My greatest strength as a clinician is fostering an open an honest relationship with my clients where they can feel safe and comfortable bringing anything to session. The most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship; if we don't have trust and honesty, it's pretty tough to get any work done!
I love working with individuals who are struggling with moderate to severe anxiety including the following: Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety, different Phobias. My clients are motivated for change and eager to have open and honest conversations. My clients are ready to be encouraged and know that they can do hard things and accept that change happens in discomfort.
I have received training in evidence-based treatments, including Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP) therapy—the gold standard treatment for OCD. ERP focuses on helping you remember you can do hard things and that anxiety can be felt and experienced without needing to push it away.

Khris is beyond graceful, kind and knowledgeable. Not only is she able to acutely recognize patterns amidst an onslaught of verbal "data," she's also incredibly adept at offering practical, compassionate suggestions that have really put me back on track. She's helped me feel empowered, hopeful, and like I'm more able than ever to accept myself as I am while building skills that keep me moving forward.
