Anxiety and OCD

I specialize in working with people and families affected by OCD and anxiety (general anxiety, panic, phobias, etc.). I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, which is the gold standard treatment for OCD. Furthermore, I completed the International OCD Foundation's intensive training course for Pediatric OCD. I am also trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions).

Adults

Many adults face challenges managing the stresses of life. I offer emotional support and concrete tools for dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting, and women's issues. I am especially sensitive to the needs of women experiencing challenges during pregnancy and postpartum.

Children & Adolescents

I connect easily with young people and help them develop skills they need to feel good about themselves and be successful in the real world. Common issues addressed include anxiety, depression, OCD, stress management, divorce adjustment, family and peer relationships, self-esteem, behavioral challenges, and self-harm behaviors. I use a variety of techniques including art and play therapy to engage youth of all ages in the therapy process.

Families

Family relationships can be complex. With my specialized training in family therapy, I work to help families understand relationship dynamics, resolve conflict, and strengthen bonds.

Couples

Whether you are struggling with communication, the effects of infidelity, or you just don't feel close to your partner anymore, counseling can help. I work with couples to re-build trust, change negative patterns, and develop skills that lead to stronger relationships.

Evidence-Based Therapies

I utilize practices from evidence-based therapies including acceptance and commitment (ACT), cognitive behavioral (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), dialectical behavioral (DBT), family systems, mindfulness, and emotionally focused therapy (EFT). I am also LGBTQIA+ affirming. Because each individual and family is unique, I tailor my approach to build on your strengths and meet your needs.
