Narrative of Services:
Drawing from both my professional expertise and personal lived experience, I have a deep understanding of the challenges that come with managing OCD, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties. Approximately 75% of my practice is focused on OCD and related disorders, and this work is something I genuinely love and feel honored to do.
Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:
Along with treating OCD, I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety disorders, phobias, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), chronic stress, and life transitions. When clients have a dual diagnosis—such as OCD alongside another concern—we collaborate to develop a treatment plan that addresses both effectively.
Training Description:
’ve been working with clients struggling with OCD and anxiety for over a decade—first as a coach, and more recently as a licensed marriage and family therapist. I’ve received specialized training in ERP, CBT, ACT, I-CBT, Habit Reversal Training (HRT), SPACE, ARFID interventions, Failure to Launch, and mindfulness-based approaches. I tailor these methods to each client’s needs, with a focus on building practical tools and self-compassion.
