About me

If you’re struggling with the relentless grip of OCD and/or anxiety, feeling stuck in your head, constantly second-guessing yourself, overthinking everything, having to do daily repetitive behaviours and battling an endless stream of “what ifs” you’re not alone. OCD and anxiety can make everyday decisions feel like life-or-death dilemmas. You might find yourself looping through scary or unwanted thoughts, replaying mental images or memories, questioning your relationships, your values, your safety. You feel like you have to figure it all out, monitor your thoughts, get it right, and find certainty- it’s exhausting. I work with people who are caught in this cycle, those who feel like they’ve spent their lives being “responsible” by responding to every thought. If you’re worn out from trying to fix, control, or make sense of what’s happening in your head, I can help you learn a different way. We’ll get clear on what’s keeping you stuck, and how to start living life again I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who specializes in OCD & anxiety disorders, especially when past therapy hasn’t helped or not got to the root cause. I’ve worked with all kinds of OCD themes; relationship OCD, harm, contamination, scrupulosity, perinatal, sexuality. Change is possible, & you don’t have to do it alone, let’s talk & see if we’re a good fit.
