I specialize in helping adults experiencing OCD, anxiety disorders, panic, health anxiety, perfectionism, and the effects of living in a neurodivergent world. I also enjoy working with autistic and ADHD adults who are navigating burnout, masking, overwhelm, and life transitions.

You don't need to know your diagnosis before reaching out. Many people with OCD spend years believing they're "just anxious" or "just overthinking." During our first few sessions, we'll work together to understand your symptoms, determine whether OCD or another condition is present, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs.

Yes. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming, and I enjoy working with autistic and ADHD adults. Therapy isn't about helping you mask or become more "neurotypical." Instead, we'll focus on reducing distress, building sustainable coping strategies, working with your nervous system, and helping you create a life that works for your brain.

ERP is the most effective psychological treatment for OCD. Instead of trying to eliminate intrusive thoughts or avoid anxiety, ERP helps you gradually face feared situations while resisting the compulsions that keep OCD going. Over time, your brain learns that uncertainty is safe and anxiety becomes much less powerful.

Many people worry that ERP means being thrown into their biggest fear. That's not how I practice. ERP is collaborative, individualized, and gradual. We'll build confidence step by step, and you'll never be forced to do an exposure you're not ready for.

Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is one of the most effective treatments for body-focused repetitive behaviors such as hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (excoriation disorder), nail biting, and other repetitive habits. Rather than relying on willpower alone, HRT helps you recognize the situations, thoughts, emotions, and sensations that trigger the behavior and teaches practical strategies to interrupt the cycle. Together, we'll build awareness, develop alternative responses, and reduce the impact these behaviors have on your daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions instead of getting caught in a struggle to control or eliminate them. Rather than asking, "How do I get rid of this anxiety?" ACT asks, "How can I build a meaningful life even when anxiety shows up?" You'll learn skills to increase psychological flexibility, make room for uncomfortable experiences, and take actions that align with your values. ACT is often integrated with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) when treating OCD and anxiety disorders.

Therapy is active, collaborative, and practical. Depending on your goals, we may learn new skills, work through difficult situations, practice ERP exercises together, identify patterns that are keeping you stuck, and develop strategies you can use between sessions. My goal is for you to leave each session with something you can apply in your everyday life.

Usually, yes. Research consistently shows that practicing skills between sessions leads to better outcomes. Most clients can expect about 5–20 minutes of daily practice, especially when using ERP. Therapy doesn't stop when the session ends—lasting change happens through consistent practice in real life

Yes. I currently accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, and Providence Health Plan in both Florida and Minnesota, as well as Ascension in Florida. Private-pay appointments are also available if you prefer not to use insurance. Private-pay appointments are $150 each. I utilize the Headway platform for telehealth appointments. When you schedule with me, you will be redirected to the Headway platform.

You may be a great fit if you're looking for evidence-based therapy, are open to practicing skills between sessions, and want a therapist who is both supportive and willing to gently challenge the patterns that keep anxiety or OCD in control. My approach is collaborative, practical, and affirming—I believe therapy should help you build confidence, not dependence.

Mental health is influenced by more than thoughts alone. Sleep, stress, movement, nervous system regulation, neurodivergence, relationships, and physical health all affect how we feel. My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with a whole-person perspective, helping you create lasting change that supports both your mental and overall well-being.
