Depth Oriented Therapist Specializing In Relationship OCD (ROCD)

About

I offer a compassionate and direct approach that is warm and at times playful. By bringing curiosity to the parts of your experience that feel chaotic or unspeakable, we create the shifts needed to quiet the mental noise. This experiential process honors your unique and internal depth, moving past temporary coping mechanisms toward lasting ease. Through our work together, you'll step out of survival mode, chronic mental loops, to feel more in your body and deeply grounded.

Areas I work with

  • Generalized anxiety
  • OCD
  • Social anxiety
  • Trauma
  • PTSD

Approach

I work from a trauma-informed, attachment based perspective, which means we will not simply manage your symptoms on the surface. Instead, we will explore how patterns and life experiences continue to shape the ways you relate to yourself and others today. Many individuals seeking support for obsessive thoughts and anxiety are told that only behavioral therapies work. However, sustainable healing requires a more holistic approach. Together, we'll balance practical tools to interrupt mental loops with exploratory work for deeper healing.
