Finding a therapist can be really hard work, so I applaud you for looking at this page right now! I'm quirky and humorous and I'd love to help with whatever you're bringing to therapy. I specialize in OCD and anxiety, and enjoy working with all letters of the LGBT+ community. I strive to provide trans-affirming care. My goal is to give you a safe and nonjudgmental space to bring whatever you've got going on, help you make sense of it, and learn how to cope.
My approach is integrative, drawing from person-centered therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to treat OCD. Together, we will decide what approach fits you best and tailor treatment to meet your needs.
Therapy is hard work, but the results can be so worth it. I would be happy to work with you with respect, a bit of humor, and a deep commitment to providing you with the best care for your unique concerns. Reach out by email or phone when you're ready.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then together decide what's best for you. I often use DBT in my practice, but will use other interventions as appropriate. If you're coming in for OCD, we'll likely look at ERP (exposure therapy) to help you out. These therapies are great for learning new skills to cope.
