Anxiety can leave you feeling stuck in a cycle of worry, overthinking, self-doubt, and constantly preparing for the worst. While anxiety often begins as an attempt to protect you, it can gradually take up more and more space in your life, making it difficult to feel present, confident, and connected to what matters most. I help clients understand the patterns that keep anxiety going and develop practical tools to respond differently. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT and ACT, we'll work together to reduce anxiety's grip, build resilience in the face of uncertainty, and help you move toward a life guided by your values rather than your fears.

OCD is much more than being organized or liking things a certain way. It involves unwanted intrusive thoughts, images, urges, or doubts that create significant anxiety and lead to compulsive behaviors—whether visible or entirely mental—in an attempt to find certainty, relief, or reassurance. Unfortunately, these strategies often strengthen OCD over time. I specialize in treating OCD using evidence-based approaches including ERP, I-CBT, and ACT. Together, we'll learn how OCD operates, break free from compulsive patterns, and develop the confidence to tolerate uncertainty without letting fear dictate your choices. The goal isn't to eliminate every intrusive thought, but to help you reclaim your life from OCD and focus on what matters most.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is more than simply feeling self-conscious about your appearance. It involves persistent preoccupation with perceived flaws or defects that may be minor or not noticeable to others, often leading to excessive checking, comparing, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or attempts to "fix" the problem. These behaviors can consume significant time and energy, impacting relationships, work, and overall quality of life. I understand that BDD is not about vanity—it's a painful and often isolating experience. Using evidence-based approaches, we'll work together to reduce the grip of appearance-related fears, challenge unhelpful patterns, and help you build a more flexible and compassionate relationship with yourself.

Even the strongest relationships can become strained by the demands of everyday life. Busy careers, parenting responsibilities, communication difficulties, unresolved conflicts, and the mental load of managing a household can leave couples feeling disconnected, misunderstood, and stuck in the same arguments on repeat. Couples therapy provides a space to slow down, better understand one another, and develop healthier ways of communicating and navigating challenges together. Drawing from evidence-based approaches including the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples strengthen their connection, repair trust, navigate conflict more effectively, and build a relationship that feels supportive, resilient, and aligned with the life they want to create together.
