How I Can Support You

Couples Therapy

If you know you love your partner, but struggle to understand the way they think and find yourself in the same argument over and over again, couples therapy can help untangle the web. Using the Gottman Method (level 1&2 trained), Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma modalities like EMDR, I focus on helping couples where one or both partners has OCD, ADHD, or Autism understand each other’s different brain chemistries, get unstuck from the emotional ruts, and deepen connection and love.

Anxiety and OCD Therapy

If you feel like your thoughts won’t shut off and struggle to live the life you want to live due to stress and anxiety, managing anxiety and/or OCD is an important option to explore. I’m trained in ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) Therapy which is the gold standard treatment for OCD. I also utilize CBT, DBT, and ACT principles to support clients in stepping out of the anxious loop and finding roots in their values rather than fear.

Trauma Therapy‍ ‍

If you’ve experienced an acute or long term trauma, you may notice symptoms like always feeling on edge, feeling numb, disconnection from your own reality, or trouble doing and enjoying the things you love. It’s important to get to the root of the trauma and allow the nervous system to process the pain it’s been holding. Using EMDR, parts work, Brainspotting and creative modalities like art and nature, I help clients move through the traumas holding them back and find peace and safety in their own experiences.

About Me

I believe therapy should be collaborative, approachable, focused on your goals, and most importantly - effective. My clinical focus on neurodivergent couples is rooted in seeing couples struggle for years, trying all the right tools, and still coming up short. When I work with these couples and start to help them get to the root of the issues (often in large part due to different brain chemistry), they start to see meaningful change. This work is deeply meaningful to me and I’m honored to support couples in this growth.
