Therapy style

I support high-functioning millennial men and women in navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, life transitions, depression, and relationship issues. Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by obsessive thoughts, frequently analyzing every detail of their experiences. These thoughts can significantly impact self-esteem, relationships, and work life. In my practice, I frequently encounter individuals grappling with overly critical thinking, people-pleasing tendencies, perfectionistic mindsets, intrusive thoughts that feel distressing and shameful, and pervasive self-doubt.
