The decision to start therapy is an essential step in your journey to a life that brings you greater happiness. I aim to create a safe and comfortable space to become the best version of yourself. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, your emotions, and your relationship to your thoughts. 

I have specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy, that has scientific support for improving symptoms of many fear-based conditions including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), hoarding disorder, and anxiety disorders. My approach to treatment is systematic and goal-oriented. In the first phase of our work together, I will start by getting to know you, help you develop goals, and assess any psychiatric conditions that may be affecting your ability to meet those goals. Then we will discuss your treatment options and what treatment might look like.

If you decide to work with me, we will start working on specific goals for treatment and estimate a timeline that you are comfortable with. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, we will usually start with weekly or twice weekly sessions. We will monitor your progress and change approaches if needed. Therapy sessions with me are usually short-term which means a few sessions or up to a year. If you benefit from these sessions, we will shift to working on ways to maintain wellness.
