Living with obsessive-compulsive patterns, intense fears, or social anxiety can feel overwhelming and isolating—but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m a licensed psychologist with specialized expertise in anxiety disorders, especially OCD, and I support clients struggling with generalized anxiety, social fears, and the intrusive thoughts and compulsions that often come with them. Using proven, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I work with you to gently and gradually face fears, reduce avoidance, and regain control over your thoughts and actions. My trauma-informed approach acknowledges how early life experiences, shame, and safety concerns influence OCD symptoms. I combine emotional regulation training and psychoeducation with a compassionate, collaborative style to help you build lasting resilience and a stronger sense of safety in yourself and your environment. If you’re ready to take steps toward freedom from OCD’s grip and reclaim your life with confidence, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
