• If you are suffering from an anxiety disorder you are not alone. In fact, as a group, anxiety disorders are the most common type of mental health concern. Nearly 1 in 5 American adults experience anxiety symptoms that are severe enough to significantly decrease their functioning and/or quality of life.

    Anxiety Disorders that I have experience treating include Panic Disorder, Specific Phobias, Illness Anxiety Disorder (Health Anxiety), Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Agoraphobia, and Life Stress/Adjustment Disorder.

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety or to prevent something bad from happening. These obsessions and compulsions can be time-consuming and distressing, often interfering with daily life, work, and relationships. It’s important to know that OCD is not just about being “neat” or “organized”—it’s a serious condition, but one that is highly treatable with the right support.

    I am a professional member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and have expertise in Exposure and Response Prevention treatment for OCD.

  • Eating disorders affect nearly 9% of the U.S. population, and among them, anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental health condition. With extensive experience in this area, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the complex emotional, psychological, and behavioral aspects of eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.

  • I also work with individuals on their health and lifestyle goals which are crucial factors to consider for overall well-being and mental health. I discuss with clients key areas like nutrition, physical activity, sleep issues, technology use, and stress management. I explore changes clients can make in order to promote optimal health so that they can thrive and improve the quality of their lives.

What I Treat:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most well-researched and evidence-based forms of psychotherapy. It has been rigorously studied for decades and consistently shown to be effective for a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, OCD, and eating disorders. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping individuals identify and shift unhelpful patterns that contribute to emotional distress. It is a structured, goal-oriented approach that provides practical tools clients can use both in and outside of therapy.

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It involves gradually and safely exposing individuals to the thoughts, images, or situations that trigger their anxiety (the "exposure") while helping them resist the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors (the "response prevention"). Over time, ERP helps reduce the power of obsessions and compulsions, allowing individuals to regain a sense of control and live more freely. ERP is considered the gold-standard treatment for OCD and has strong research support.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps people develop psychological flexibility—the ability to be present, open, and engaged in their lives, even when facing difficult thoughts or emotions. Instead of trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings, ACT teaches people to accept them, while committing to actions that align with their values. It combines mindfulness strategies with behavior change techniques and is effective for a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, and chronic stress.

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) and coaching are supportive approaches that help people make meaningful changes in their lives. MI is a collaborative, conversational method that helps individuals explore their own motivations and resolve ambivalence about change. Rather than giving advice, it focuses on listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and helping people connect with their own goals and values. Both MI and coaching offer structured support to help individuals set and achieve personal goals related to wellness, behavior change, or life transitions. Together, these approaches can empower individuals to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction.
