Introduction

Have you ever felt trapped in your own thoughts? Do worries, intrusive thoughts, or "what if" scenarios seem impossible to turn off? Maybe you've found yourself relying on alcohol, substances, or other behaviors just to quiet your mind for a little while. When anxiety and uncertainty become overwhelming, it's natural to look for relief... but those coping strategies can often keep us feeling stuck. I have specialized training in working with individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and substance use. Whether you're sober-curious, actively working toward recovery, supporting a loved one, or navigating the unique challenges of living with OCD, our work will be tailored to your goals. We'll use evidence-based approaches while creating a space that feels supportive, collaborative, and genuine. Therapy can include practical skills, challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness techniques, and even moments of humor along the way. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. Healing isn't about becoming fearless, it's about learning that you can handle the thoughts, emotions, and uncertainty you've been trying so hard to avoid. We'll take things one step at a time, celebrating progress over perfection. As your confidence grows, you'll find yourself making choices that align with the life you want to live, rather than the fear that's been making decisions for you.
