About
I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to navigate anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, trauma, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. These experiences can leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure of where to turn. As an exposure therapist, my passion lies in helping people move through those difficult moments and find real, lasting relief. I offer both virtual and in-person sessions at Sage Valley Therapy because I believe counseling should be accessible and fit into your life, not add another layer of stress. Every person who walks through my door — or joins me online — brings a unique story, and I tailor my approach to honor that individuality. My work draws on evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and I weave in mindfulness, shame-sensitive work, and culturally responsive, trauma-focused care to make sure you feel genuinely seen and supported. I also recognize that reaching out for help matters most when you need it most. I'm currently accepting clients for a waitlist, and if my schedule is full, I'll gladly connect you with another trusted clinician at Sage Valley Therapy so you're never left without options. If you or someone you love is navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, trauma, or OCD, please know you don't have to face it alone. I'd love to hear from you — together, we can take meaningful steps toward mental wellness. Healing starts with a conversation, so let's talk. Specialties: I specialize in empowering you throughout your therapeutic journey by sharing knowledge and helping you take an active role in your growth. I begin with a free 15-minute consultation to understand your goals and determine if my services align with your needs. From there, we will explore the challenges you are facing together, establish clear treatment goals, and decide on a session frequency that works for you. Credentials & Experience: Licensed as a Professional Counselor and nationally certified as a Counselor, with specialized certification as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. Trained through the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) and certified with the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), bringing focused expertise in anxiety disorders and evidence-based behavioral therapy.
"I use an evidence-based therapeutic approach to help clients build a fulfilling life. I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to enhance psychological flexibility. This method teaches clients to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them, enabling clients to live in alignment with their values. I also use structured Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns. Additionally, I apply Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a technique that guides clients to gradually face their fears without relying on compulsive behaviors. CBT and ERP are supported by research for effectively managing anxiety and OCD."
