My Approach to Helping

Together, we'll explore unhelpful patterns, deepen self-awareness, and work toward living with greater intention—making choices grounded in your values, not fear. I'm passionate about helping clients build self-trust to face life with more confidence and compassion. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can show up fully and authentically. My approach is primarily humanistic, informed by existential and ACT frameworks, with a strong focus on values-based living. For clients with OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment, along with Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) when appropriate. I believe real change comes from building tolerance for uncertainty and choosing a life aligned with what truly matters to you. I also incorporate DBT skills to support emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and focused on helping you create a meaningful, grounded life.

Why I Became a Therapist

I became a therapist because I’ve experienced how powerful it can be to have a space where you don’t have to perform or hide — where you can be fully yourself without judgment. Those therapeutic experiences, where I felt seen and safe, had a lasting impact on me, and I aim to offer that same kind of environment to my clients. I also have personal experience with OCD, so I understand how overwhelming and life-disrupting it can be. At the same time, I know recovery/symptom relief is possible. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and living in alignment with my values played a key role in my own healing, and that perspective shapes the work I do with clients every day.
