About me

I am a master’s-level psychologist and certified psychotherapist working primarily with young adults and adults. I support clients with anxiety and OCD (intrusive thoughts, mental compulsions, constant overthinking), panic attacks, emotional dysregulation, guilt, shame, identity-related distress, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients feel stuck in their head, constantly analyzing, doubting, or seeking certainty, and want practical tools to break this cycle. I also help clients enhance problem-solving, decision-making, assertiveness, and social skills. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative, providing specialized support for clients with identity-related concerns, minority stress, self-acceptance, and relationship challenges. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including CBT, REBT, DBT, ACT, ERP, and mindfulness, tailored to each client’s needs. My aim is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, strengthen resilience, and develop practical coping strategies for everyday life.

Approach

Treatment Approaches

CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Recommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.

Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

I work collaboratively with each client to create a structured, goal-oriented, and supportive therapeutic process. Sessions focus on building practical skills to manage emotions, strengthen self-confidence, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. When working with OCD and anxiety, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients gradually face feared thoughts and situations without engaging in compulsive behaviors, while building tolerance for uncertainty and discomfort. I draw on evidence-based approaches: - CBT & REBT to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns - DBT to manage intense emotions and improve coping - ACT to foster values-based action - ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) for OCD and anxiety - Mindfulness to enhance awareness and emotional balance My approach is tailored to individual needs, helping clients apply strategies in real-life situations, navigate challenges, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. I strive to maintain a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood, empowered, and supported.
