About

Instead of asking "what's wrong" with someone, my approach is to ask "what happened." Getting to the root of a problem, seeing what’s behind it and what’s contributing to it, is more beneficial in the long term than solely viewing an issue as it presents today. While providing a safe and supportive environment, I work collaboratively with clients to learn ways to manage symptoms more effectively, keep the past from negatively affecting the present, and assist clients in moving forward with clarity and purpose.

I specialize in providing counseling for kids, teens, and adults with issues such as OCD, life stressors, trauma, family conflict, depression, and anxiety. Along with traditional counseling approaches, I utilize ERP (training through IOCDF), and am an EMDR-trained clinician through the EMDR Institute. Afternoon and evening appointments offered if available.

It can be hard to take the first step of calling someone completely unknown to talk about difficult things. When you’re ready, I can talk with you about getting started and to see if we’re a good fit; if we’re not, I’m happy to help connect you with someone else! I look forward to talking with you!
