First session
in the first session, we get to know each other. You can expect a warm and safe space to discuss what's been going on in life, struggles and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. I would be listening closely and walking you through the process, as well as answering any questions.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to combine deep empathy with evidence-based tools. I listen closely and create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel understood, while also helping them stay focused on real progress. Clients often tell me they value my balance of warmth and directness, and my ability to adapt the work to their unique needs and pace
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are people who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or low mood, and who want to regain a sense of freedom and confidence. I also work with clients facing complex challenges such as psychosis or trauma. If you’re seeking a therapist who will listen closely, meet you where you are, and help you find practical ways forward, I would be honored to work with you.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is commonly used with variety of clients to teach them to understand, accept and appreciate life as it is without attempting to change the unchangeable
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in treating OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard therapy for OCD. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and complex cases including psychosis. I provide a warm, direct, and supportive approach to help clients face fears, build resilience, and move toward the life they want. I also offer integration support for clients exploring psychedelic-assisted therapies.
