About
Have you ever been told you worry too much, or that you're too hard on yourself? Maybe your brain never quiets down, always analyzing, overthinking, or assuming the worst. Intrusive thoughts get stuck, or you feel a constant need to check, seek reassurance, or stay in control. The high expectations you set for yourself feel overwhelming. Maybe food and your body take up more space than you want, or you follow food rules you're afraid to break. Fear, guilt, and self-doubt can make it hard to trust yourself or relax. You might just wish you could feel more confident, go with the flow, or turn your brain off for a little while. If you're reading this and thinking, "Hey, that's me!" then I might be the right therapist for you. I'm a Registered Social Worker with a decade of clinical experience, and I specialize in helping people with OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, and disordered eating. Together, we'll work to build a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions, so you can live with more calm, confidence, self-trust, and flexibility. We'll start with the struggles that are making everyday life hard, and you'll build practical tools to feel more in control. From there, we can explore the deeper patterns and experiences that shaped them. I'll give you honest feedback and gently challenge you when it helps, always at a pace that feels right for you. Reaching out for help can feel scary, but so much positive change is possible when you work with a therapist who truly gets it. With me, you'll find a non-judgmental, supportive space to better understand your patterns and work through whatever you're facing.

Approach & Modalities
Get To Know Me
We’re a good fit if…
I work best with people who are interested in diving deep and exploring their patterns, who are open to trying out new ways of doing things, and who are committed to overcoming the challenges that are holding them back.
We’ll know we’re making progress when…
You feel more in the driver’s seat of your life. You’re less affected by difficult thoughts and feelings, and you feel more capable of taking action in your day-to-day life.
I became a therapist because…
My own experience with therapy over the years has helped me immensely! I feel it's important to "walk the talk", so personal therapy is something I continue to be consistent with because I firmly believe that working on myself makes me a better human and a better therapist for my clients.
