Licensed Therapist, MSW, LCSW
About
I don't believe therapy has to feel intense, sad, or scary. I try to bring fun and humor into my sessions to make them lively and comfortable. I work hard to create a judgment-free space. I hope you'll feel comfortable sharing with me, and that you'll feel seen, heard, and not judged. You're stepping into a journey that is going to be hard, but it's helped many people get their lives back. I also have experience treating depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and mood disorders.

Sitting in uncertainty is becoming a natural response instead of a foreign feeling that I try to fight.

I just had a great breakthrough of really sitting in uncertainty and I got bored of the obsession so quickly. It was amazingly liberating!

At the end of the session we came up with some goals I can work on for the next couple weeks, and I feel that they're tangible things I can achieve. I just needed the extra support and motivation to start

In April, I began experiencing onset OCD, where I knew I had to seek therapy. Fortunately, with my therapist’s assistance, I am able to implement the tools I need to overcome the triggers. I do find that my therapist’s communication is lacking at times, which that is the only complaint I have. Overall though, if you have OCD, I would say this is a great form of finding a way to improve it.
