Therapist | Young Adults & Adults

Medical Trauma • OCD • High-Achieving Burnout • Trauma & Anxiety

I work with young adults and adults navigating medical trauma, chronic illness, OCD, anxiety, depression, burnout, and other experiences that can make it difficult to feel grounded or like yourself.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy should honor the complexity of your experiences while also helping you develop practical ways to move forward. As a therapist certified in EMDR and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I integrate trauma-focused treatment with mindfulness, somatic practices, and evidence-based tools based on your individual needs.

You Might Be a Good Fit If...

  • A chronic illness, disability, or medical experience has changed how you relate to your body or your life

  • OCD, intrusive thoughts, or compulsions are taking up too much mental space

  • You’re highly driven but increasingly exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself

  • Anxiety makes it difficult to slow down or feel present

  • Trauma or difficult experiences continue to affect how you feel or respond

  • You’re struggling with depression, motivation, or emotional exhaustion

  • You want practical tools without losing space for deeper emotional work

  • You’re looking for a therapist who takes a grounded, whole-person approach

My Approach

My therapeutic approach may incorporate:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Somatic Practices
Client-Centered Therapy

The specific approach we use will depend on your individual needs, experiences, and goals.

You don’t need to have a perfectly defined problem before starting therapy. My role is to understand what you’re experiencing, what feels most important to you, and what kind of support will be most helpful.

I take a grounded, client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique experiences. Depending on your needs, our work may involve processing trauma, addressing OCD patterns, managing anxiety, navigating the emotional impact of chronic illness, or examining the expectations and habits contributing to burnout.

I draw from EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention, trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices. Together, we can develop an approach that supports both meaningful insight and practical, sustainable change.

How I Can Help

Medical Trauma, Chronic Illness & Disability

Living with chronic illness, disability, or difficult medical experiences can affect far more than physical health. It can change your sense of safety, identity, independence, relationships, and expectations for the future.

I provide space to process the emotional impact of these experiences while helping you reconnect with a sense of stability, agency, and self-understanding. Therapy can also be a place to work through medical trauma, uncertainty, grief, and the stress of adapting to changes you did not choose.

OCD & Exposure and Response Prevention

OCD can create a cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or compulsive behaviors that may feel impossible to step away from.

Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we can work together to better understand the patterns maintaining OCD and gradually build your ability to respond differently to intrusive thoughts and uncertainty. The goal isn’t to eliminate every uncomfortable thought—it’s to help those thoughts have less control over your life.

High-Achieving Burnout & Anxiety

You can appear successful and capable while still feeling exhausted, anxious, or like you’re constantly falling behind.

I work with high-achieving clients who may be carrying intense expectations, perfectionism, work stress, or difficulty slowing down. Together, we can explore the patterns driving burnout, strengthen boundaries, and develop a healthier relationship with productivity, rest, and your own expectations.

Trauma, Depression & Emotional Healing

Trauma and depression can affect the way you see yourself, relate to others, and experience everyday life. Sometimes difficult experiences remain present through emotional reactions, physical sensations, avoidance, or patterns that are hard to change through insight alone.

When appropriate, I incorporate EMDR alongside trauma-informed, mindfulness, and somatic approaches to help you process difficult experiences while building greater emotional stability and connection.
