Areas of Expertise
01
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. Therapy focuses on understanding the patterns that maintain anxiety while building practical tools to manage worry, panic, stress, and avoidance so you can feel more grounded and confident in daily life.
02
Depression often impacts motivation, relationships, energy, and sense of self. Together, we work to better understand the emotional and behavioral factors contributing to depression while helping you reconnect with meaning, balance, and fulfillment.
03
Relationship & Interpersonal Challenges
Relationships can be a major source of both support and stress. Therapy helps individuals, couples, and families improve communication, navigate conflict and boundaries, and develop healthier, more connected relationships.
04
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD can trap individuals in cycles of intrusive thoughts, doubt, and compulsive behaviors that interfere with daily functioning. Therapy provides guidance and support to help reduce compulsions, tolerate uncertainty, and regain freedom from obsessive patterns.
05
Child Behavioral Challenges
Children often communicate emotional struggles through behavior. I work collaboratively with children and parents to better understand behavioral concerns, strengthen emotional regulation, improve communication, and foster healthier family dynamics.
06
Misophonia
Misophonia can create intense emotional and physical reactions to everyday sounds, often affecting relationships and quality of life. Treatment focuses on developing coping strategies, reducing distress, and creating a greater sense of control and understanding around triggers.
