Welcome! I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety related issues, and Trauma/PTSD with adults and teens. I approach therapy in a way that is more than just talking, but highly experiential, present-centered, and focused on making change within and outside of session. Many of our wounds are relational, so establishing a secure and healthy therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of my work. I aim to cultivate a space where you feel unconditionally supported while also being challenged in a direct and kind manner.
I use holistic and evidence-based therapy methods grounded in processes of mindfulness, acceptance, compassion, and values-based exposure techniques. I have extensive training in the evidence-based therapy model, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps individuals drop the struggle with their suffering and build a meaningful life.
I infuse a lot of intention and presence into every session as I understand how important this time is for each of my clients. It is an honor to be allowed into someone's world and support them in opening up to their own experience. (I am licensed in Connecticut and North Carolina. Teletherapy only for clients in North Carolina.)
