My Ideal Client

I specialize in helping clients who have symptoms of OCD, PTSD, and anxiety disorders, such as Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, and Body Dysmorphia. I hope to provide support and guidance to help clients experience change and live a more values-focused life.

My Approach to Helping

I specialize in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and exposure therapies. Exposure therapy is an evidenced based therapy that effectively treats OCD, anxiety, and trauma disorders. I also use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR has been shown to be helpful in treating PTSD and trauma. I am continually looking for and learning about new modalities that will best help the clients that I meet.

My Values as a Therapist

Each person we meet in life experiences things differently and has struggles that are unique to them. Because of this, I believe that effective therapy is never one-size fits all. I strive to understand the unique needs of every person as I walk with them on their journey. My training and experience enables me to offer specialized care for a variety of mental health disorders. My goal is to bring comfort to each client by utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach with an empathic, person-centered focus being at the core of everything I do. I have a passion for hearing people’s stories, helping them navigate tough circumstances, and challenging them in ways that get them closer to their desired life.

Specialties

  • OCD External link

    I have worked with clients with OCD since 2015 and have multiple years of experience working in Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient capacities. I have received training through the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and use a combination of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and skills based therapies to help clients take back control of their lives.

  • Anxiety External link

    I use a mixture of Exposure Therapy and skill building to help clients combat symptoms. Specific skills, such as learning to problem solve, emotional awareness, and mindfulness, can help reduce your worry and allow you to live in the present moment.

  • PTSD External link

    I have been trained in multiple trauma informed therapies, and mostly utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address symptoms of PTSD and trauma. EMDR is a psychotherapy that allows clients to heal from symptoms of trauma by helping the brain reprocess trauma using detailed protocols and procedures to activate the natural healing process. I work to create a safe space to explore trauma at a pace that works best for you.
