Hi there! Starting therapy can be an intimidating process, but I hope I can help make it as positive and collaborative as possible. As a therapist, I specialize in treating phobias, anxiety disorders (social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia), OCD, Depression, and Trauma (PTSD). My goal is to aid you to moving to a life without fear. I know anxiety can be incredibly debilitating, so if you're ready to make a change and start facing your fears, I am the right therapist for you! I specialize in evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, and depression, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD/ trauma, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is a specialized form of therapy for phobias, panic disorder, and OCD! Unlike some providers, I can assure you we will actually do exposures in session. Typically the first intro sessions are assessment and education, but we quickly move into creating your fears hierarchy and facing your fears using achievable steps. My goal is to help you overcome challenges, change behaviors, and help you live your best life. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from New College of Florida and continued on to receive my master's in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from UCF in Florida. Outside of being a therapist, I love bachata, tea, and spicy food.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

After an assessment, I will discuss what our plan of action should be, whether that is learning new coping skills, changing a behavior, or working through an event.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I tailor the treatment used based on what is most effective for your issue. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD. Outside of these I typically practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is shown to be clinically effective for a variety of diagnoses including anxiety and depression.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I strive to provide the best possible evidence-based care to help people see results. I mainly see adults and teenagers 16+ Not accepting clients 15 and under
