“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” Carl Rogers

Supportive, Person-Centered Therapy for Adults Seeking Clarity, Connection, and Relief

The focus of my practice is supporting adult individuals with chronic illness or pain, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), depression, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and complex or chronic trauma (C-PTSD). Many of the people I work with feel caught in cycles of overthinking, emotional fatigue, and self-doubt. Together, we work toward clarity, insight, and a greater sense of ease.

A Collaborative and Personalized Approach

I offer a consistent, supportive therapeutic relationship where your concerns can unfold at your own pace. My style is warm, respectful, and grounded in training and experience with anxiety, chronic illness, and relational dynamics. I focus on building insight and self-trust rather than following rigid protocols. Our work is guided by your experience and what feels most important to you.

What You Can Expect

Over time, clients often feel more grounded, more connected to themselves, and more able to meet life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. Whether you are working through obsessive thought patterns, adjusting to the realities of chronic illness, or trying to better understand your emotions and relationships, therapy offers a place to begin again with care and intention.

I offer a free fifteen minute consultation for you to determine if you’d like to schedule an initial intake session.

My Approach

My style is warm, steady, and grounded in deep respect for your individual experiences. I offer a person-centered, relational approach that emphasizes presence, authenticity, and emotional responsiveness. I don’t use a manualized or highly structured format. Instead, therapy unfolds in open conversation, guided by your concerns and paced by your needs.

I bring clinical knowledge to our work, but just as importantly, I offer consistent support and a reflective space where thoughts, emotions, and questions can be explored with care. Many clients come to therapy looking not just for symptom relief, but for a deeper sense of clarity and connection.

This approach may be a good fit for those who:

  • Feel overwhelmed by anxiety, uncertainty, or inner conflict

  • Are navigating grief, loss, or major life transitions

  • Live with chronic illness or chronic pain

  • Are looking for deeper understanding and reflection rather than symptom management alone

  • Value depth, authenticity, and curiosity in the therapy process

Anxiety and OCD

I have extensive experience treating anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and my approach is warm, flexible, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based methods such as Exposure and Response Prevention and Inference Based CBT, but I don’t rely on rigid or highly manualized programs. Instead, I focus on understanding how OCD works for you as an individual. We look at the fears, patterns, emotions, and relationship dynamics that shape your symptoms, and we integrate exposure work (if you want) within a deeper, insight-oriented process.

This approach is often a good fit for people who want help with OCD while also exploring the underlying layers that standard protocols don’t always address. You may have tried ERP in the past, or you may be starting fresh, but you might be looking for a therapist who understands the lived experience of OCD, even when others in your life may not fully grasp it. I hold that understanding at the center of our work, even as we explore trauma history, emotional patterns, identity questions, or other deeper issues that intertwine with OCD.

My goal is to help you build confidence in facing what feels overwhelming while also making sense of the emotional and relational context around your symptoms. Treatment is thoughtful, sustainable, and oriented toward your whole story, not just the OCD itself.

Grief and Loss

Grief can be disorienting and difficult to articulate. I offer a compassionate space to help you hold the weight of what has been lost and explore how it continues to shape you. Whether you are grieving a person, a relationship, a future that didn’t unfold, or a change in health or identity, therapy can offer support in honoring your experience and moving forward with care.

Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain

Living with a chronic condition can affect every area of life including work, relationships, and how we feel both emotionally and physically. I bring both clinical training and personal experience with a chronic medical condition to my work with clients facing chronic illness or pain. I understand how isolating, frustrating, and invisible these experiences can be. Therapy offers a space to process grief, advocate for your needs, and reconnect with what still feels meaningful and possible.

What to Expect

Our work together will unfold in open conversation, at a pace that feels right to you. I strive to create a space that is warm, open, and responsive, where your thoughts and feelings are met with care, not criticism. Many clients share that therapy helps them feel more grounded, more fully themselves, and more capable of facing life with clarity and self-compassion.

Next Steps

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is essential to the therapeutic process. I offer a brief phone consultation to help determine if my approach is a good fit for you. If you are seeking a space to reflect, understand, and grow with depth, care, and respect for your lived experience, I look forward to connecting with you.
