I have spent the past several years specializing in OCD treatment. I work with adults and children and families to learn skills to manage their symptoms and return to a normal level of functionality. I have spent much of my adult life overseas and work with a broad understanding of cultural diversity. My ideal client has insight into the goals they wish to achieve and is willing to work between sessions to ensure their success. When working with children with Anxiety, Phobias or OCD, I include parents in the work whenever appropriate.

We experience a lot throughout our lives. These moments impact us in various ways, including our mood and behaviors. It can be difficult to manage the various emotions that arise from our experiences. Both positive and negative events can include moments of high stress, conflict, disagreements, relationship strain, confusion, depression, etc. Howe Counseling Services offers many different treatment approaches, tools, and techniques to safely navigate these events. Together, we can process these experiences to ensure you are on the path you want to be on in life.

Life gets hard at times with increasing demands and a finite amount of resources. As creatures of habit, we tend to get stuck in what seems like a never-ending cycle. My clients come to me with a desire for REAL change. They may be managing long-standing mental health problems and/or new and chronic medical conditions. They also seek to improve their relationships and find out what makes their life worth living. In the end, my clients appreciate introspection and understanding the past, but believe that actual concrete change is needed.

Sometimes getting through the day is just too much. Trying to handle life and feeling stuck, a lack of tolerance or irritability to what feels like everything? Maybe you're struggling with low self-worth, shame, guilt, anxiety, depression, a difficult childhood, trauma, grief/loss, and/or just making some life choices.

So often, we can identify the challenges we are experiencing, but we have difficulty processing and understanding them alone. It is my goal to compassionately collaborate with you as we bring greater awareness and acceptance to present moment thoughts, feelings and body sensations. It is through this awareness and increased mind-body connection that we are able to allow, explore and process these difficult experiences. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and identities experiencing difficulty with anxiety, stress, burnout, adjustment, medical issues, professional transitions and development.

Seeking therapy is a sign of personal strength, not of weakness. It takes awareness in our lives and courage to be able to reach out for help. Often people who engage in therapy are actually doing well in life, but would like to do better in one area or another. Working with a licensed therapist can provide the objective and professional feedback needed to assist in defining challenges, developing goals, and working toward positive change. Benefits of therapy may include improved and more satisfying relationships, increased energy and productivity, and feelings of well-being.

I specialize in the really hard stuff life throws our way. I work with adults, college students, and teens affected by grief and loss, complex trauma (abuse and neglect) and PTSD, serious and chronic health conditions (like cancer, ALS, MS, MD), disability, and other big life changes and challenges resulting in depression and anxiety. I believe that our inability to control what happens to us is not something to be overcome. Instead, it is the reality of life that we all live within. This is where the real work of being a person begins. And this is where good, meaningful, compassionate therapy comes in. I'm glad you're here.

I specialize in treating trauma and relationship concerns. I support individuals with attachment trauma or painful past experiences that continue to impact their current lives, getting in the way of feeling grounded, connected, and vibrant. I also support couples, relationship partners, and adult family members to engage more effectively, sustainably, and lovingly with each other. I engage with clients as whole people and explore their concerns in the context of identities and experiences that matter to them. With that in mind, I invite them to build awareness and skills that will help them thrive rather than tread water.

We all deserve to have satisfying relationships with ourselves and others. Sometimes however, things get in the way. We may be unaware of the motivations behind our actions. I specialize in facilitating a safe environment in which these motivations and emotions can be expressed, understood, and worked through. This gained self awareness can lead to improved relationships to oneself and others, while working to achieve one's full potential in life.

As a therapist, I use a non-judgmental, strengths-oriented, evidence-based approach. I'll meet you where you're at, get to know you, and we'll work together as a team to identify and achieve your goals. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances 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.

WELCOME.What brings someone to therapy is always deeply personal and deeply compelling. Such an experience is unique, and complex. Thus to fully acknowledge, validate, and to understand requires skillful integration of listening, empathy, theoretical knowledge, clinical acumen, compassion and, most of all, willingness to fully engage in the process. I am a seasoned clinician well-versed in a variety of therapeutic approaches. This offers each person I work with an approach that is individually tailored to your unique goals, needs, and challenges. Inherent in this process is open dialogue so we maximize the efficacy of our work together.
