- About
- I approach OCD therapy with patience, understanding, collaboration, and a non-judgmental framework. That treatment is not always linear — it will likely include some experiences that are distressing before they get better — but the goal is to experience pain without suffering. Growing up, I had first-hand experience with therapy, so I do everything I can to create a safe space. It's a privilege to work with those with OCD as they begin to see their strengths. My other focus areas include trauma and PTSD, addiction, borderline personality disorder, and criminal history.
