Talk Therapy
I specialize in working with young adults struggling with OCD and Anxiety-related problems. Maybe your mind never seems to turn off. Maybe you’ve always been the worrier, the responsible one, the planner, or the overthinker. Perhaps intrusive thoughts leave you questioning yourself, even though they don’t reflect who you are. You replay past mistakes, imagine worst-case scenarios, and end up being far harder on yourself than you would ever be on someone else. Sometimes anxiety looks like perfectionism, people-pleasing, endless researching, checking, or seeking reassurance.
My approach to therapy is client-centered, relational, and organic. I offer a gentle structure, beginning with an optional guided meditation to help you settle into the session and ending with goals or intentions for the week ahead. In between, you guide our exploration of your inner world. I ask thoughtful questions, offer gentle challenges, and introduce therapeutic tools as needed. CBT, ACT, ERP, and mindfulness shape how I understand and support the people I work with.

Modalities
Exposure and Response Prevention
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) helps people with anxiety and OCD practice facing fears and uncertainty in manageable steps. Together, we identify the patterns that keep you stuck, such as avoidance, checking, or seeking reassurance. You gradually practice approaching what feels difficult while resisting the urge to use those familiar responses. Through this process, you build confidence in your ability to handle discomfort and move toward the life you want.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
When struggling with anxiety or OCD, it’s common to try to get rid of anxiety through avoidance or efforts to control thoughts, feelings, and situations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you develop a new relationship with anxiety by learning to coexist with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Through mindfulness and meditation practices, you learn to step back from your thoughts and create space to choose how you respond. Together, we explore your values and practice moving toward what matters to you, even when anxiety is present.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often a helpful place to start, offering a foundation for understanding yourself and making meaningful changes. It builds awareness of how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors shape your daily experiences. Together, we recognize patterns that contribute to distress and explore responses that better support you. We then put that awareness into practice through manageable actions and skills you can use in everyday life.
