Finding a Specialist

When children and adults struggle with mental health challenges, it is ideal to see a therapist who specializes in the specific struggle you are facing. Just like we seek specialists for medical care (we don't go see a neurologist if we're having problems with our heart), it's helpful to do the same when navigating mental health issues. 

Of course there are times when other factors make it hard to work with a specialist (such as geographic location or cost), but when feasible, I encourage folks to find a therapist who is a good match in terms their specific challenges, as well as someone who makes you feel understood and validated.

I have specialized training and expertise in helping children and adults tackle challenges related to anxiety, OCD, and related issues. I exclusively work in these areas of specialty, because it is where I know I can be of most help to you.
