Introduction

I'm passionate about helping people use their strengths. From relieving mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, OCD) to improving functioning (communication, emotional intelligence, stress management), I'm dedicated to helping you grow. I use strength's based approach that gives you the knowledge and tools to live a more fulfilling life. As a therapist, I enjoy helping people slow down, make connections, and see the bigger picture. Techniques I use are CBT and CBT for Insomnia: changing unhealthy thoughts to increase healthy behaviors (CBT-I focused on sleep), ACT: building the life according to your values, Mindfulness: grounding and being aware of how you react, and Exposure Therapy: challenging compulsions to lessen OCD and anxiety. When I am not at work, I can be found out and about spending time with friends, working out, and reading for pleasure. Some of my favorite things include listening to Chappell Roan, reading any book by R.F. Kuang, swimming laps, and eating cookie dough.
