Specialties: anxiety, depression, stress, OCD

Bio:

Therapy is a space for exploration and personal growth. Whether you are experiencing depression, OCD, anxiety, stress, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself or want a safe place to reflect, therapy is a great tool to navigate that. The journey toward reaching out for support can be a significant moment, and finding the right therapeutic match is essential. My practice is
centered around me working for you and ensure we are making progress as we work collaboratively to reach your goals. I believe therapy should be tailored to each
individual’s unique needs.

In my work I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches including CBT and DBT-informed modalities. My experience encompasses working with
individuals navigating depression, anxiety and related disorders, panic disorder,
relationship challenges, and everyday stressors. Over the years I found anxiety
disorders increasingly intriguing and am interested in helping clients overcome anxiety,
phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders, using proven strategies to foster
meaningful change.

I believe that by understanding how our brains generate anxiety and recognizing the
pathways involved, we can develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with
our fears and anxieties.
