I’m a therapist dedicated to helping people break free from the cycles of anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors that can take over their lives. Using effective techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Habit Reversal Training (HRT), I work closely with clients to make real, lasting changes in how they think, feel, and manage day-to-day challenges. My goal is to equip you with the tools you need to move forward confidently and build a life you feel good about. I’m here to make the process practical, approachable, and empowering, so you can create meaningful change and take control of your future.

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

In our first session together, we’ll take the time to get a clear, detailed picture of what’s bringing you in and what you want to achieve. We’ll start with a comprehensive assessment, where I’ll ask questions to understand your current challenges, your history, and any patterns that are affecting your well-being. This helps me get a full understanding of your unique needs so we can tailor a plan that feels right for you. Once I have a sense of where you’re coming from, I’ll walk you through the therapy approach I use, whether that’s CBT, ERP, HRT, or a blend of techniques based on your goals. I’ll explain why these methods work and what you can expect from treatment, so you have a solid understanding of how we’ll approach things together. By the end of the session, you’ll have clarity on how therapy will support your journey, and we’ll outline some initial steps to get started on creating real change.

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

What sets me apart as a provider is my commitment to understanding you as an individual and providing tailored, effective solutions that create real, lasting change. I specialize in evidence-based therapies like CBT, ERP, and HRT, which are proven to help people overcome anxiety, depression, and OCD. I’m not just here to listen; I’m here to guide you every step of the way, giving you practical tools that you can use right away to start feeling better. I’ll work with you to break free from the cycles that hold you back, helping you regain control of your life and build the mindset and habits needed for a healthier, more fulfilling future. Let’s work together to create a clear path forward so you can finally start seeing the change you’ve been looking for.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

If you're struggling with hoarding, depression, or OCD, I can help you break free from the patterns that hold you back. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, results-driven approach that provides you with real tools to shift negative thoughts and behaviors. Whether it's overcoming the emotional pull to hold onto things, tackling the cycle of negative thinking in depression, or addressing anxiety-driven habits in OCD, CBT focuses on specific, achievable steps that help you regain control and make lasting change. Together, we’ll work towards building a healthier mindset and a better quality of life, one manageable step at a time.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)

If you're dealing with OCD, tics, or body-focused repetitive behaviors, I can help you make lasting changes using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Habit Reversal Training (HRT). ERP is a highly effective method for managing OCD, gradually reducing the anxiety tied to obsessive thoughts by guiding you through safe, controlled exposure to your fears—without giving in to compulsions. This approach builds resilience and helps you break free from the OCD cycle. For behaviors like skin-picking or hair-pulling, HRT helps you become more aware of the triggers and teaches specific skills to replace these habits with healthier responses. This structured, step-by-step approach puts you back in control, offering lasting relief from behaviors that may have once felt overwhelming.
