I draw on person-centered, CBT, and ACT techniques in my work as a counselor, and strive to be flexible and adaptable to meet unique needs.
OCD and anxiety can be an exhausting, draining cycle to be stuck in. Negative thoughts, feelings, and memories are natural parts of being a human being, but they don’t have to control your life or take away from your work and relationships. I believe that having a space to explore your feelings in an open, non-judgmental environment can relieve some of the pressure and make it possible to invest time and effort into what you truly care about. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety and intrusive thoughts effectively , your life can become much richer and more meaningful.

I utilize person-centered therapy and respect clients' right to self-determination.
My ideal client is open-minded to different treatment modalities. Someone who may not know where to start with their therapy treatment needs support in taking the first steps. I often work with individuals who have experienced trauma or have had other significant life events that may have affected their mental health. I enjoy working with clients who need assistance identifying their emotions and creative coping skills to manage symptoms. I like helping clients identify triggers that may exacerbate their symptoms.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, person-centered, and goal-focused.
Each of us has barriers—those things that get in the way of us becoming who we want to become or doing what we want to do. Sometimes our barriers are easy to overcome. Other times, they’re not. When barriers seem overwhelming, counseling can help. Participating in counseling can be an excellent opportunity for personal growth. A counselor can help you resolve issues that may be adversely impacting the quality of your life. Counseling can help you recognize and change problematic thought patterns and behaviors, improve your relationships, and process difficult experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
