OCD + Anxiety Support

Wow, did you know on average it can take up to 14 years to receive a proper OCD diagnosis, even if you have been in therapy that whole time? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a crippling experience and requires proper treatment in order to actually start feeling better. No, you are not crazy — I promise. But having constant obsessive thoughts, intrusive images, and endless “what ifs” can feel really scary and exhausting, especially for sensitive, intuitive women who feel everything deeply. OCD can make you doubt yourself, replay scenarios endlessly, and feel trapped in your own mind. I utilize an evidence-based treatment called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help break the OCD cycle. This involves gently exposing yourself to feared scenarios to teach your brain that 99.999% of the time, the scary thing won’t happen — and even if it did, you would be able to cope far better than you think. I work with different subtypes of OCD, including but not limited to Pure OCD (primarily obsessions and intrusive thoughts), Checking OCD (constant safety checking), Suicidal OCD, Harm OCD, Relationship OCD, and Contamination OCD.

PMDD Support

If your menstrual cycle brings intense emotional ups and downs, irritability, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts that feel overwhelming, you’re not alone — and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. I understand how isolating, confusing, exhausting, and overwhelming the luteal phase can feel, and how deeply PMDD can affect your mood, identity, relationships, and self-trust. I provide a gentle, non-pathologizing space to explore your lived experience of PMDD, helping you make sense of cyclical emotional shifts while building tools for nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. PMDD is not only a personal struggle, but a systemic one — where women’s pain is often dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood. Healing happens through being deeply seen, supported, and understood, and through finding your voice — both in session, to express what has gone unspoken, and outside of therapy, to clearly name your needs and set boundaries that honor your wellbeing. I help you track your cycle, understand and unlock the power hidden in each phase, and build strategies to navigate the month with more ease, self-compassion, and confidence.

Co-Dependency (People Pleasing) Support

If you are constantly putting other people’s needs above your own, feel terrified of disappointing others, or struggle to set boundaries, you might be navigating codependency. This can feel confusing, lonely, and draining — especially for highly sensitive, empathetic folks. Maybe you grew up being rewarded for always being the “good girl,” even though you started to resent it as you got older. Maybe you chronically self-abandon because the moment you have needs, you notice people becoming upset with you. This may have worked at one point in your life, but my guess is that if you are reading this right now, it’s no longer working — and your inner self is screaming for you. I help you understand these patterns, learn that boundaries are loving, reclaim your sense of self and authenticity, and nurture yourself while still being compassionate toward others, so relationships can feel balanced, fulfilling, and authentic. I really want my clients to walk away from therapy with the deep belief that you are your number one priority — and that “you need you.”

Trauma Support

Past hurts, relational wounds, or life-shaking experiences can linger long after the events themselves. Trauma can show up as heightened anxiety, increased sensitivity to danger (or the potential for danger), overthinking, difficulty trusting yourself and others, low self-esteem, intrusive flashbacks, and a feeling of being stuck. Together, we create a safe space to process what’s happened, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner strength so you can feel steady, grounded, and more at home in your body and life. When we experience trauma, we almost always walk away with a negative belief about ourselves or the world. Additionally, our brains don’t properly store memories during traumatic experiences, which can cause us to live our day-to-day lives as if the event is still happening. I utilize EMDR to help reprocess trauma so it becomes stored properly in the brain and to desensitize the impact it has on your life today. We work from a here-and-now approach, meaning I don’t go digging up the past just to churn things up. Instead, we look at what is currently affecting your life and work backward from there. We move at the pace of safety so you can build confidence over time and feel supported throughout the process. I want to note this: you don’t have to remember everything from your past to receive healing now. It’s okay if things feel foggy — often, they do.

Grief Support

Losing someone you love can turn your world upside down, and grief often shows up in ways no one expects — intense sadness, guilt, anger, or feeling “stuck.” I know this personally. Three years ago, I unexpectedly lost my brother, and I understand how raw, gut-wrenching, life-shattering, confusing, and disorienting grief can feel. I provide a safe, compassionate space to process loss, honor your feelings, and find ways to carry your loved one while learning to live with a broken heart. I work with folks who have experienced or are currently navigating a life-altering loss. My approach is rooted in the belief that there is no right way to grieve and no timeline for when you should “move on.” Grief is not something to fix or get rid of, but rather something to be honored, expressed, and to walk along side with. It is a reflection of the deep love we’ve shared, and I guide clients in recognizing that this love and connection can endure beyond physical form. I support clients in creating meaningful rituals to honor their loved ones, offer creative outlets to help release stuck emotions, and use somatic techniques to regulate the nervous system. Together, we explore how to find meaning in what can feel like a meaningless reality. I also recognize that grief can show up throughout life in many forms — not just the loss of a loved one. It can include fertility challenges, divorce, life transitions, loss of identity, a life you longed for but never had, a childhood you wish was different, an emotionally unavailable parent or partner, and so much more. I’m here to welcome all of it.

Couples Support ~

Relationships are among our greatest teachers, and often the places where our deepest wounds are revealed. Our partners have a unique ability to reflect back both our pain and our potential for healing. In the sacred space of relationship, we are invited to confront and heal our wounds while also experiencing the profound growth and transformation that comes through connection. I often work with couples who care deeply for one another, but whose connection has been diminished by the routines of everyday life over the years. Within the safety of the therapeutic space, I help partners connect more deeply, explore how they’ve changed over time, and learn new ways of relating with honesty, empathy, and depth. My work also supports couples in reducing conflict, releasing resentment, and fostering greater intimacy — both emotional and spiritual. Together, we explore how to nurture a connection rooted in love, mutual respect, and shared growth, allowing both partners to feel seen, heard, and deeply connected on a soul level.
