warm connection + science-backed therapy that works? yes, please!
I love using therapy techniques that are proven by research to reduce anxiety and improve well-being, while also providing flexible and warmth in therapy.
Person-centered care really is my number one specialty!
I want you to feel accepted, heard, and safe in all of your sessions, while seeing progess in your day-to-day life.
AND, I am thrilled to be able to offer you the best treatments out there for anxiety, such as...
- Exposure Therapy: Gradually face fears in a safe, structured way
- Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is a behavioral therapy technique used to reduce or eliminate repetitive, unwanted behaviors—especially those that feel automatic or hard to control. It’s widely used for conditions like Tourette syndrome, trichotillomania (hair pulling), and excoriation disorder.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of therapy that helps you handle difficult thoughts and feelings by changing how you relate to them—rather than trying to eliminate them.
as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, which includes...
- Mindfulness – staying present and aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment
- Distress Tolerance – getting through intense situations without making things worse
- Emotion Regulation – understanding and managing emotions so they feel less overwhelming
- Interpersonal Effectiveness – communicating clearly, setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships
I am proud to have specialized training from the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and CBI (Center for Behavioral Interventions) to ensure every session is informed by the latest, evidence-based approaches.
