OCD & anxiety can make daily life feel like a series of impossible “what-ifs.” Therapy provides a space to untangle those patterns & regain a sense of peace & to rebuild your trust in yourself & your ability to care for you.

We use evidence-based approaches such as CBT and exposure-informed techniques along with Mindfulness/Somatic Therapy approaches to help you move beyond obsessive thoughts, compulsions, chronic worry, & to regulate your nervous system. This is immense work, so we always go at your pace & with ample grace & patience.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy helps your brain & body process painful memories & find expedited relief. We specialize in online EMDR for PTSD, complex trauma, & attachment wounds, helping you to regulate your nervous system & finally cultivate the headspace to nurture your peace & identity beyond your past. We may also supplement this work with Mindfulness/Somatic Therapy Approaches to help establish your body as a safe space again.

We all carry the patterns we learned from childhood and early relationships that shape how we connect today. Whether you find yourself feeling distant, anxious, avoidant, or “too much” in relationships, we can help you explore those dynamics with curiosity instead of shame. Maintaining safe, secure relationships begins with our relationship with ourselves, which we’ll explore through a trauma-informed lens, CBT, DBT, and potentially some elements of Mindfulness/Somatic Therapy in our individual therapy sessions.
