I started my career as a therapist in 2016 upon graduating from Utah State University. I began my training in OCD treatment in 2018 and discovered a passion for treating obsessive-compulsive related disorders and anxiety disorders. These disorders can take away an individual’s ability to make their own choices and fully participate in life. You may find yourself avoiding situations, stuck in your head, or engaging in behaviors because you feel like you have to, not because you actually want to. This often creates disruptions in areas such as relationships, school, work, and home.
Through evidence based treatments, I have seen people be able to make their own decisions and get back to what really matters in life. I believe in empowering my clients to have the tools they need to manage their mental health independently. I want to help you to not just survive, but build a life worth living. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and polyamorous friendly.
My journey to becoming a therapist began in Israel, where I earned my psychology degree at Tel-Aviv University (2016-2019). During this time, I volunteered at an inpatient mental health facility and an ADHD clinic, gaining experience working with diverse individuals and families.
After moving to Utah in 2021, I honed my skills at the OCD and Anxiety Treatment Center, providing Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP) therapy and teaching CBT and DBT skills to clients from ages 6 to 80. It was here that my passion for helping individuals struggling with OCD and anxiety disorders truly blossomed. Witnessing firsthand the toll these conditions can take, and the incredible transformations possible through successful interventions, fueled my dedication to this field.
Since then, I've continued expanding my expertise. My internship at Flourish Therapy, a non-profit serving the LGBTQ+ and polyamorous communities, allowed me to offer gender-affirming care and therapy specifically informed for queer experiences, while still incorporating ERP for anxiety and OCD.
Most recently, I've been training in Inference-based CBT (I-CBT) for OCD and crisis intervention for the 988 line. I believe in a collaborative approach, tailoring a blend of techniques (ERP, I-CBT, CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, etc.) to each client's unique needs.
You may feel like your life is consumed by uncertainty – what to do next, making the best decision, picking the right path for you, and wondering, "but what if I get it wrong?" Maybe who you thought you were, or who you were supposed to be, doesn't fit anymore, and you're not sure what's underneath it. Perhaps this uncertainty is impacting your relationships with the people you love most.
I hold a master's degree in Conflict and Coexistence, which taught me that compassion is more powerful than force, and that how we relate to our experiences, each other, and the systems around us shapes the patterns we get stuck in.
I work with people navigating OCD, anxiety, identity shifts, and faith transitions, drawing on ACT, ERP, mindfulness-based CBT, and — through an EFT externship — Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. My practice is queer-affirming. Instead of treating a symptom as something to fight, I want to understand what it's protecting, and build something more flexible in its place.
Whether these worries feel big or small, are new or well-worn, underneath the urgency and endless analyzing is a whole person with a desire to reconnect to life.
Your patterns made sense once. They probably kept you safe, or organized, or in control, at a time when you needed that. They don't have to be the whole story anymore. Let's figure out what building something different could look like for you.
After a 20-year career in the floral industry, I decided to pursue a degree in psychology and gender studies, graduating in 2020. During this time, I worked with new mothers who were struggling with mental health and the effects of this on their babies. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents in a school and day treatment setting. In 2025, I started working with adults, many of whom were diagnosed with anxiety disorders. My journey is an example of how we can make desired changes in our lives at any time.
I have personal experience with OCD and anxiety disorders. These disorders can disrupt, create avoidance or demand exhausting routines you don’t necessarily want to participate in. OCD and anxiety make it difficult to stay present and enjoy the moment which can leave people feeling alone and/or misunderstood. Thankfully, there are ways to address these issues. Through collaboration and evidence-based interventions (ERP, ACT, DBT, MI, and CBT) I want to help clients feel empowered to make desired changes that bring living back to their lives. I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals. I am LGBTQ+ and polyamory friendly.
