She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MS, LMFT
As a therapist, I bring a lot of empathy, compassion and understanding. I'm not just a stoic face. Outside of work, I have two dogs—a French bulldog and German shepherd mix—and I love spending time with them and my husband, running, hiking, and being outdoors.

You can learn to manage OCD symptoms and feel more in control. I want to help you understand that you can take the wheel and get on with your day-to-day life.
I originally worked in schools as a behavioral interventionist. People would give me what they called the rowdy kids in the class. Doing interventions with them and seeing their progress was the most rewarding job I've ever had. That motivated me to move from behavioral interventionist to therapist. Today, I do similar work: I help people understand their challenges, ways that they can manage them, coping tools they can use, and give that education to their family or loved ones so they can better understand what they're going through. It's super-rewarding. I love it.
My previous job was at a residential level of care, mostly with teenagers. I had a handful of clients who had OCD. I saw how interventions really helped them. Then I found out one of my family members has OCD. So I started reading more into it. I learned that OCD is not just under-reported, it could be mistaken for other things. So I wanted to better understand that spectrum and ways of helping those with OCD.
Therapy is not going to completely wipe the symptoms away. But there are definitely ways of managing the symptoms and helping you feel more in control. I want to help you understand that you can take the wheel and get on with your day-to-day life.
That's totally normal, especially if it's toward the beginning of our treatment and I'm pretty much a stranger. Go at your own speed. As a therapist, I am here to be that safe person. My job is also to push you in a gentle manner, as long as you're comfortable with it. I will help you out and be your cheerleader. But progress can take time.
