Healing is only possible in relationships where we feel heard, seen, and cared for. I like integrating my sports psychology background with talk therapy to promote meaningful movement and connection to nature. By tapping into the body's innate wisdom, we can navigate through the challenges of depression, anxiety, and trauma with strength and grace. Through our collaborative journey, you'll learn the transformative power of intentional movement while unlocking new pathways to emotional resilience.

The capacity for healing resides in everyone. Therapy is about unhooking from self-limiting adaptive patterns, while cultivating self-acceptance and reconnecting with essential wise parts of yourself. I work with men and women using a depth-oriented, body-mind approach to explore the complexity of identity and relationships. My aim is to help you understand from an embodied perspective the deeper dynamics of your struggle, strengthen the parts inside of you that can move beyond it and engage in life with a greater sense of meaning, strength, and self-compassion.

We all have intrusive thoughts, and there will never be a time during our work together that the thoughts you share will carry judgment. As a therapist, I love witnessing people reclaim their lives and rebuild their confidence to integrate the things that bring them joy. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. We have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

All change is possible. Whether you are recently finding yourself stuck in an unhealthy pattern or have had more long term difficulties with depression, anxiety and unhealthy relationships, it is possible to create a more fulfilling life. I think that it is important to work with concrete strategies, developing healthy habits and coping mechanisms to address present day difficulties, while also addressing deeper issues. The focus is on creating healthy and lasting change. Finding the right therapist for you is key. I believe in identifying and supporting existing strengths while encouraging growth in whatever areas you seek.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

I specialize in providing psychological services to children and adolescents. These include neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy. Assessments can be invaluable tools that provide diagnostic clarification, treatment recommendations, and the basis for academic accommodations. The therapeutic interventions I provide to young clients can be used to address a range of common challenges including, but not limited to emotional dysregulation and behavior problems. Based on the client, therapy may take various forms and could entail a talk or play-based approach. I regularly integrate parent or family sessions when appropriate.
