Do you often feel anxious, depressed, or "stuck" and want to feel happier and more fulfilled, but are unsure how? Perhaps your relationships are suffering, or you are underperforming at work. Maybe you just had a major life change, like a new baby or a divorce, and you need help adjusting to your new life. Perhaps you suffered a loss or another traumatic experience currently, or in your past, that you haven't yet worked through. This is where I come in. I create a judgement-free, safe space to work on these issues and help you move past them.

I see therapy as part of the life-long process of getting to know ourselves and our own minds. To support this process I strive to create a space that is warm, collaborative and inquisitive. In my experience, the therapeutic relationship helps people understand patterns of thinking and interacting that have become painful. By learning about these patterns in a supportive space, people often feel less stuck in their lives.

I will meet you where you are. I will never force you to talk about something before you're ready. Talking things through with an unbiased, non-judgmental therapist can be a great first step toward self-improvement. At NOCD, my team and I provide effective specialized treatment for OCD and related conditions, such as BFRBs (including skin-picking, nail-biting, and hair-pulling). Our understanding of the nuances of these conditions enables us to diagnose and treat them properly. We have received training in evidence-based treatments, including Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP) therapy—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

We all come into this world wired to be happy, productive, connected people. Along the way, we learn from successes and disappointments, early relationships and experiences, and sometimes loss or trauma. The ways in which we learned to adapt to these experiences may have worked then, but can interfere in our happiness today. I see many problems with mood and relationships as stemming from these underlying dynamics. I will work hard to truly understand your story, help you develop some new adaptations or coping techniques, and walk beside you as you begin to position yourself differently and live a more fulfilling and joyous life.
