I believe that our past experiences shape how we think about things. If we heal old wounds, we improve our chances to feel more successful in all areas of life. I believe the ability to learn is a necessary tool for all individuals to maintain throughout life; whether you are a student in school or the CEO of a global corporation, it is essential to continue learning about yourself. When we have a solid understanding of why we think, act, and feel the way we do, then we set ourselves up to improve our relationships, especially the one with ourselves.

How can therapy help me? What can you tell me that I don’t already know? These are common thoughts for many people considering therapy. Society often teaches us that emotions are uncomfortable or “yucky,” making it difficult to face them head-on. So what can therapy do that truly benefits you? I believe therapy is not about the therapist telling you who you are; it’s about exploring what’s holding you back from reaching your full potential.

I understand the overwhelming struggle of navigating life with OCD and anxiety disorders. It's like being trapped in a mind that never stops, a constant whirlwind of 'what if' scenarios that demand your attention. The relentless racing thoughts can leave you feeling paralyzed by fear and distress, creating a daily battle that drains you both mentally and physically.
