My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, build values-based coping strategies, and embark on a journey of personal growth. In doing this work, I have discovered that the best way to move through emotional pain is to allow yourself to feel it. That can be incredibly overwhelming but with caring and consistent support, it becomes manageable. It is deeply healing to be heard and cared for in those vulnerable states and to understand that by attending to early emotional injuries, a path toward an authentic connection to yourself and others is not only possible, but achievable.
In our first session together, we will get to know each other, begin to explore areas for growth, and develop a collaborative plan to reach your goals and objectives that will guide the work in the upcoming sessions.
I work collaboratively with you to help build a treatment plan that will best meet your goals and objectives. I also use only evidenced-based treatment interventions to help reach those goals. I will often consult empirically based research that is current to ensure that my clients are getting the most up-to-date care available.

I use exposure response prevention (ERP) to help reduce the symptoms of OCD.
