Has worry and anxiety or OCD taken a starring role your life? You have aspirations but they fall victim to worry: “what ifs,” catastrophes, fear of judgement, panic. I can help you kick anxiety to the back seat so you can accomplish your goals and achieve the peace you deserve.

I'm an LGBTQIA+, kink, and poly-affirming therapist that believes therapy should be available to everyone. I want people to know that therapists are not pinnacles of perfection; we have our own struggles and good therapists use those struggles to become better practitioners. If you're looking for a nonjudgemental therapist that shows her humanity and embraces it with humor then I might be a good fit for you.

I completed specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I'm intensively trained in Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD. I focus on the treatment of anxiety disorders with or without accompanying depression. I utilize multiple approaches while remaining grounded in CBT. I work with folks exclusively through videoconferencing so I can see you no matter where in Georgia you happen to be.
