Now accepting new clients! Life can be down right hard. It becomes exhausting to manage how you feel and how you sometimes respond. Crying easily, worrying, and feeling alone, angry, overwhelmed, and sad are all common signs of depression and anxiety. I want you to know you are not alone. I am here to support you and help you through such a challenging time. It is my desire to assist you in learning how to respond appropriately to triggers for better emotional control and to address unresolved trauma that has left you feeling low, empty, and ashamed. I will incorporate biblical/Christian principles, if requested.

I’ve always had a passion for being a helper and support to others. I began my career in education, where I learned my students could be more successful academically if they had the tools to manage their emotions and the challenges life tosses their way. This led me to enroll in a counseling program to help my students, which began my immersion into the field of counseling and supporting others as a professional helper and psychotherapist. At NOCD, my team and I provide personalized and effective specialized treatment for OCD and related conditions, such as BFRBs (including skin-picking, nail-biting, and hair-pulling).

My approach to OCD therapy involves examining thoughts and behaviors, then focusing on changing behaviors and tolerating the distress caused by thoughts. The most gratifying part of my job is witnessing those 'lightbulb' moments when people realize they don't have to live in fear, anticipation, or shame forever. I became a therapist to help people help themselves and wanted to specialize in OCD because I saw the need in my community and the lack of therapists specializing in OCD. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD.

I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice. I am currently in network with Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare; I also offer private pay sessions. I specialize in individual therapy with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and addiction. I work from a psychodynamic perspective in therapy which means that I am interested in unconscious motivations that could be contributing to dissatisfaction in life. I take great interest in dreams and recurring fantasies and see them as useful in therapy if the client ever wants to process them.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to counseling. Every unique individual has their own specific needs when it comes to healing from trauma, overcoming anxiety/alarm, and growing in resiliency and self-compassion. My hope is to provide a safe space where you can share your stories, struggles, and hopes for the future as we engage the brain and body in a way that allows for healing to begin and relief to be found in order to take steps toward a brighter future.
