You're the one who has it all together. The reliable one, the smart one, the capable one. But on the inside there's constant worry, mental lists that are never completed, fear of failure, and fragile self-confidence. It's exhausting and overwhelming to live under this pressure, but you don't have to do it all alone anymore. In choosing therapy with me, I will step in and help you set boundaries, practice self-compassion, set reasonable goals, and reengage with the things in life that will fill you up. Together, we'll increase your self-esteem, decrease anxiety, and start building a life you truly enjoy.

Approach Description: My approach to counseling emphasizes the needs of my clients. Sometimes that means we'll spend the appointment venting about your mom, and other times that means I'll be providing you with effective tools to address anxiety. We will set flexible goals and I'll choose treatment styles I believe will best help you achieve those goals. I value and prioritize the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a warm, safe environment for clients to heal within.

My practice is dedicated to helping women professionals live the lives they've dreamed of, one step at a time. As an anxiety specialist, it is my joy to get clients back to feeling like themselves. I use treatments that are directive and emphasize actual tools you can employ to decrease symptoms of anxiety. I also specialize in the treatment of OCD. As a provider with lived experience, my compassion for OCD sufferers abounds. While this disorder causes terrifying intrusive thoughts and distressing compulsions, it can also significantly better when treated with effective approaches. I offer 3 currently research-proven therapy options for clients with OCD. Given how these disorders tend to become more pronounced during pregnancy and postpartum, I also have training in offering support for those in the perinatal period.
My personal style as a therapist is often described as compassionate, empathetic, and direct. I prioritize problem solving your current concerns while also keeping long-term goals in mind. The therapeutic relationship is my top priority and creating a space that feels safe to you will always be on my mind during sessions.
Most clients start noticing a difference in their symptoms within 4-8 sessions, and many graduate within 6 months of treatment.
My practice is entirely telehealth based and serves Washington state and Texas.
I also present on subjects including: marriage, OCD, and anxiety disorders.
