Anxiety
OCD
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety and like it's preventing you from living the kind of life you want to be living? I specialize in working with people of all ages (5+) affected by anxiety, including general anxiety, panic, and phobias. My goal is to empower you, so that you (and not your anxiety!) are in control of your life.
I have extensive training in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in both children and adults. I love this work and am passionate about helping those affected by OCD to feel better. OCD can be debilitating, but it is also very treatable. I am experienced in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is the gold standard treatment for OCD.
Is your child refusing to participate in therapy, but their OCD negatively impacts the entire family? I am also trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), which is a parent-based treatment program for youth with anxiety and OCD.
My other passion is working with women during pregnancy and postpartum. The transition to parenthood is simultaneously wonderful and challenging and intense. I want you to know that if you are experiencing mental health concerns during this time, you are not alone, and you are not broken. If you are experiencing overwhelming anxiety or intrusive thoughts, please reach out to be evaluated for perinatal anxiety, depression, and/or OCD. These conditions are treatable and there is hope that you will feel better.
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.
