I work with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, and the many ways uncertainty can take over—health anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing among them. I also support individuals during the transition into parenthood, including perinatal anxiety and OCD.

My approach is collaborative and practical, helping clients break free from cycles of avoidance and self-criticism so they can live more fully, reconnect with everyday moments of joy, and live a life guided by their values rather than their fears. Together, we identify what matters most to you and explore how avoidance may be crowding out the life you genuinely want to lead.

My clinical training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and extensive experience in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), developed under clinical supervision in an OCD intensive outpatient program. I also earned a Trauma-Informed Care Certificate from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and have valuable experience providing therapy to survivors of sexual assault. I also draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Behavioral Activation, tailoring treatment to each client’s needs.

Clients often tell me they value my balance of warmth and directness. I’m supportive and relational, but I’m also willing to have hard conversations and hold clients accountable to the goals they set for themselves. In anxiety work—where avoidance is such a powerful coping strategy—this combination is key to creating lasting change.

Outside the therapy room, I’m a mother to a lively toddler and try to practice what I encourage my clients to do—intentionally seek out moments of joy each day, even when they don’t appear on their own. For me, that often looks like long walks with a podcast, exploring new bakeries, watching old movies, or embracing anything delightfully kitschy.
