Feeling like you're stuck in a loop with anxiety, depression, or OCD? Craving understanding, better ways to cope, and some peace amid the turmoil? You're not just aiming to 'get by' - you're determined to regain control, to truly thrive. As an experienced psychotherapist, I can equip you with practical, scientifically-backed strategies to manage these unwelcome feelings. Let's collaborate to swap out stress for coping skills, transforming hurdles into opportunities for growth. You deserve a future that is not dictated by your current struggles and challenges. Let's chart a new course, together (and with Marvel the therapy dog)
With eight years of clinical experience and expertise in anxiety, depression, and OCD treatment, I offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach. We'll work collaboratively to build resilience, foster self-compassion, and empower you to overcome life's challenges. Through tailored therapeutic strategies, we can cultivate lasting change.
I understand the courage it takes to seek help and start a healing journey. Let me assure you, it's okay not to be okay, and it's even more okay to ask for help. Let's explore your path to healing together in a safe, non-judgemental space. You don't have to navigate this journey alone. I'm here to support and guide you.

Groups
WeOCD
WeOCD is a group therapy program blending Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Exposure and Response Prevention, tailored for individuals battling OCD. ACT fosters acceptance of obsessive thoughts without reacting compulsively. WeOCD emphasizes accepting uncomfortable feelings, committing to value-aligned actions despite intrusive thoughts, and nurturing a supportive community. Sessions include education, mindfulness exercises, experiential practices, and group discussions, all aimed at promoting learning, growth, and practical application. Facilitated by experienced clinicians, WeOCD is more than symptom management; it’s about living a full, meaningful life amidst OCD. Together, we navigate the complexities of OCD, fostering hope and resilience.
