Sometimes life throws us a curve-ball that we just didn't expect. Whatever the curve-ball is, either large or small, it is common to cause anxiety, even if it is something exciting. If your curve-ball is something that isn't so exciting, maybe you feel traumatized. This can happen for any situation that causes disruption to your daily routine, your thinking and ultimately your ability to function at your full potential. Whatever your anxiety or trauma is about, we can help! We are a team of therapists that work extensively with anxiety provoking issues. These could be about relationships, life events, or any negative experience that is holding you back. If you are struggling with moving past a traumatic incident, or finding it difficult to overcome anxiety of any sort, please contact us. We will have one of our experienced therapists contact you as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you!

What you’re going through is real. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in painful cycles of thought or behavior, you're not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I’m a therapist who is passionate about treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a gold-standard, evidence-based approach that helps clients reclaim their lives from anxiety, doubt, and fear.

In addition to OCD, I also work with individuals struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, and depression. Whether you're navigating intrusive thoughts, disordered eating, or a heavy sense of hopelessness, I offer a space that is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in effective treatment.

Therapy with me is action based and focuses on lowering the distress in your life. Together, we’ll build tools for emotional resilience, challenge unhelpful patterns, and work toward a life that feels more free, connected, and meaningful.
