About

When was the last time you had a good laugh? Or felt like your brain was calm? Or felt really confident that you were running your own life; not your anxiety, or obsessive thoughts, or big emotions. If it feels like it's been a while since you could actually enjoy life, then maybe it's a good thing you're here. Therapy can seem like a really serious thing to jump into. It is! It doesn't need to feel that way though. It's possible to do hard things, face the fears and anxieties that keep you stuck, and grow into the person you want to be. You can do all of that, and it can even be fun. Enjoyable. Something you look forward to.

As a therapist for 10+ years, I've had the opportunity to walk alongside people facing all sorts of challenges. I've practiced Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for 11 years. I've also been trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective therapy for treating OCD. I focus on utilizing evidenced based treatments that work.

I became a therapist because of how helpful therapy was for me. Having a person to walk through my own challenges with was invaluable for me. I know how uncomfortable it can feel to reach out to ask for help from someone you've never met. I hope you'll take that step. Therapy can be challenging. It can also be rewarding and joyful. It's worth it. Let's talk.
