| español What if someone handed you a crayon and asked you to write an epic novel? Isn’t that what life sometimes feels like? That you haven’t been equipped with the tools that allow you to imagine that life the way you’d like to. It is our job to work together to get you that life you deserve. My goal is to help you develop new tools to navigate life – on your terms.

My focus is on OCD and PTSD. I believe that there is a strong connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I use CBT and ACT in my practice; I have trained extensively on Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Exposure and Response Prevention.
I've been able to work with diverse populations, addressing a wide range of issues. By listening deeply and genuinely caring, I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. Whether it's through individual or group therapy, my goal remains the same: to provide you with what you need to create a life that's meaningful.
