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

In our sessions together, you can expect an experience filled with respect, compassion, and kindness. I strive to create a warm, encouraging, and collaborative therapy environment where you can freely express yourself without judgment. Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, leading to a deeper understanding of yourself. We will work collaboratively to develop effective coping strategies to manage challenges and life stressors. We will discuss and work on your goals to help pave the way for a more purposeful and fulfilling life. Let's talk, unpack, and lighten that load together.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

As a specialized therapist in OCD and anxiety-related disorders, I incorporate a range of evidence-based treatment methods and tools to provide the most effective and personalized care. My approach is grounded in a Gestalt perspective, and I draw from various therapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each client. These treatment modalities include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Humanistic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, all treatment modalities I employ are rooted in evidence-based practices.
