I Know OCD & Anxiety From Both Sides
My relationship with anxiety is both professional and personal.
I have lived with anxiety myself, and I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families understand how anxiety, avoidance, reassurance, and accommodation can quietly take over daily life.
That experience shapes the way I work. I bring empathy to the fear and frustration that anxiety creates, but I also believe deeply in our ability to change the patterns that keep us stuck.
My goal is to make anxiety easier to understand and give you practical tools for moving forward.
Compassionate,
Practical,
Evidence-Based
OCD and anxiety often pull families into cycles of avoidance, reassurance, accommodation, and conflict.
My work focuses on helping you recognize those patterns and respond differently.
Drawing from evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and parent-based approaches such as SPACE, I help turn complicated clinical concepts into practical strategies you can actually use.
