Feeling scared and ashamed of distressing thoughts, being stuck in repetitive behaviors that feel impossible to stop, avoiding things because of intense anxiety, conflict with loved ones over fears being ‘real’ - these are all things that clients with OCD and Anxiety related disorders report. People who struggle with these issues express feeling incredibly stuck and afraid of their worst fears coming true while also trying to manage relationships and pressure from life obligations. I work with individuals, couples, and families who struggle to managing the impact of OCD and Anxiety related issues.
I specialize in the treatment of OCD and Anxiety related disorders. I have worked extensively in treatment centers and in private practice with a wide variety of clients. I focus on working with OCD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder, hair pulling, skin picking, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Hoarding.
Individuals who seek therapy for OCD and Anxiety often experience significant improvements in their capabilities, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. I am dedicated to providing a warm, trusting, and supportive environment while helping individuals overcome OCD and Anxiety and make the changes they want to see.

Therapy looks a little different depending on each person's wants and needs. For some, therapy will include a lot of exposure work right off the bat. For others, we start with learning about OCD and Anxiety. Other people want to focus on talking about their families and how their childhood impacted them. There's no 'one size fits all'! Therapy can be very flexible and fluid.
