Research suggests that it often takes a decade or more for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to find appropriate treatment. As a therapist with lived experience of this complex and often misunderstood condition, I know firsthand both how painful and debilitating OCD can be as well as the limitations of traditional talk therapy in the treatment of obsessions and compulsions. My goal is to empower clients by providing them with the evidence-based tools and emotional support they need not only to successfully manage symptoms of OCD and anxiety disorders, but to thrive beyond the illusion of absolute certainty.

I work with individuals who feel like they're constantly swimming against the tide, especially those within the neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ communities. If you're wrestling with the feeling of being out of sync in a world that seems to demand conformity, or if the societal 'norms' seem more like hurdles than pathways, therapy can be a beacon. This is your arena to discover and embrace your unique self, to find strategies that align with your true identity, and to carve out a life that feels like yours.

You’re pregnant, or just became a new parent and are in the postpartum period. No one told you about the unexpected and unwanted thoughts and feelings that you are experiencing.

It feels like you are alone in this, and it is difficult to understand who to turn to.

MARRIAGE ON THE BRINK? Discernment Counseling is a new and innovative short-term therapy (just 1-5 sessions) that is designed for couples who are not sure, or cannot agree, whether to work on their marriage or consider divorce.
