Phone: 608-618-6696
Narrative of Services:
I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related disorders using evidence-based, client-centered approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). About 90% of my caseload involves individuals seeking support for OCD, health anxiety, perfectionism, and phobias. I’ve helped hundreds of people regain control over their lives—whether they’re newly diagnosed or stepping down from higher levels of care. My work focuses on collaboration, compassion, and empowerment, helping clients break free from intrusive thoughts and compulsions while learning to approach uncertainty with confidence and self-trust.
Training Description:
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience providing client-centered treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders. I received specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) during my years at a highly regarded behavioral health hospital and nationally recognized leader in OCD treatment. I continue to deepen my expertise through advanced workshops, consultation, and continuing education focused on OCD and related conditions. My approach blends evidence-based structure with warmth, humor, and compassion to help clients face fears, reduce compulsions, and develop lifelong tools for resilience and independence.
Diversity Statement:
I provide inclusive, culturally responsive, and client-centered therapy for individuals of all backgrounds and identities. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and rooted in cultural humility, acknowledging how identity, culture, and lived experience shape each person’s story. I strive to create a safe and validating space where clients feel understood, empowered, and respected. Therapy is individualized to align with each client’s values, worldview, and unique needs. My goal is to ensure everyone—regardless of background—has access to effective, affirming, and compassionate OCD and anxiety treatment that honors the whole person, not just their symptoms.
I have received extensive training in cultural competency and diversity through graduate education, continuing education courses, and clinical experience. My approach to ensure therapy is inclusive, affirming, and client-centered.
