This is the only job I wanted to do since I was younger. I had an interest in psychology classes in high school and scored high for helping professions on career aptitude tests and career inventories. I also had an interest in teaching. I believe that teaching is also a big part of therapy sessions.

Recently in my clinical practice, there has been an increase in OCD symptoms. I've had some prior professional success with helping an adolescent return to school after a period of isolation and helping an adult work through her fear of bridges. I have seen that ERP really works!

I have worked with children and adolescents diagnosed with depression, oppositional defiance, autism, generalized anxiety disorders, and PTSD. I have also worked with adults diagnosed with depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. I enjoy working with diverse populations and believe that experience makes me a more genuine compassionate therapist.

Everyone has the power to change and to do something different. You can succeed and be the best you can be. We will teach you the tools to help you better your life experiences and meet your goals.

For many people, it's hard to open up to someone new. Try to be as open and honest as possible about your thoughts and feelings. Building trust and rapport is essential to the therapeutic relationship, so let’s start there!
