You're tired and overwhelmed with living by anxiety’s rules. The constant intrusive thoughts, eating disorder thoughts, and anxious thoughts have you wondering if things will ever get better. You rarely feel good enough and you fear of disappointing others. You've lived this way for so long, so it’s all you know. You're scared to change, but you know it's what you need to do. I want to help you take back control of your life, let go of these unhelpful thoughts, and find joy. I use evidenced based techniques to help you face your fears, reframe negative thoughts, increase self-compassion, and move you closer to your values.

I specialize in treating OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders. Most of my clients also struggle with perfectionism, ADHD, depression, and self-criticism. I help them identify their inner critic and learn to separate themselves from those unhelpful beliefs. I use humor and authenticity to help the therapeutic process be more enjoyable and rewarding.

Research indicates that 70% of a client's success in treatment is based on the therapeutic relationship. With that being said, I place a strong emphasis on building an authentic connection with my clients, while also upholding boundaries. I enjoy learning from my clients and watching them succeed. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out.

I typically us CBT skills with my kids and teens because it helps them understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also am Supporting Parents of Anxious Childhood Emotions(SPACE) informed to help teach parents skills to manage their child's anxiety. With older teens and adults, I use CBT, ACT, ERP, or a mix of modalities depending on the individuals' needs.
