Therapy can sound intimidating, especially when it is your first time reaching out. But, with the right therapist, it can be a powerful tool for your well-being. I hope I can be that person for you. Children and teens face new and unique challenges every day, especially with the ever-growing pressure on social media and in school. As adults, we know the work is still never done! Whether we are working through past traumas, overcoming grief, or just needing assistance working past a funk, the right support can be life-changing.

I strive to help people live happier, healthier, lives, by assisting them in overcoming obstacles that can impact their well-being. Change is often a reason that people enter counseling: change in self, family, work, relationships, or health. Counseling can help by addressing situations that cause distress, and offering ways to help manage these situations. Counseling begins with identifying and understanding needs, and working together to achieve identified needs and desires for counseling.

OCD is a heavy burden. And it feels even heavier when nothing seems to help, including therapy. Maybe you feel that OCD is just something you have to tolerate for the rest of your life. I don’t believe that “coping” is your only option. I believe OCD is treatable. And I believe you can make deep-seated and long-lasting change. Together, we’ll look beyond your diagnosis and subtype, and understand the beliefs that maintain the OCD in your life. This can be daunting, but I’ll be there with you every step of the way offering guidance and support.
