Hi, I’m Kelsey
Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
You may be thoughtful, self-aware, and highly capable—and still feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance. You may spend hours analyzing what you should do, trying to get certain about a decision, or attempting to make uncomfortable thoughts and feelings go away.
You may even understand why you feel this way, but insight alone hasn't created the change you're looking for.
Therapy can help you move beyond trying to control or eliminate anxiety and begin building a life guided by your values rather than fear.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing OCD and anxiety, including intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors and mental rituals, rumination, perfectionism, and avoidance. My approach is grounded in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with additional experience addressing trauma-related concerns and emotional overwhelm. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) when clinically appropriate.
Together, we'll work to understand the patterns keeping you stuck, develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, and build the psychological flexibility to move toward the life you want—even when uncertainty, fear, or discomfort show up.
Currently accepting Aetna, BCBS, and self-pay clients. Superbills are provided for out-of-network reimbursement.
My Approach
My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe effective therapy requires both a strong therapeutic relationship and approaches that are grounded in evidence. You don't need to be "fixed," and you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.
For OCD and anxiety, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you change how you respond to difficult thoughts, emotions, and uncertainty. Rather than spending therapy trying to eliminate anxiety or achieve perfect certainty, we'll work toward greater flexibility and the ability to move toward what matters to you, even when discomfort is present.
You don’t have to do this alone
OCD and anxiety can be exhausting, especially when your mind tells you that you need to figure everything out before you can move forward. Therapy provides a space to step out of those cycles with support, compassion, and practical guidance.
We'll work together at a pace that challenges you without losing sight of your individual needs and goals.
Practical tools that fit your life
Therapy shouldn't stop at insight. We'll translate what you're learning into meaningful changes in your everyday life.
Depending on your goals, this may include ERP exercises, reducing reassurance-seeking and avoidance, practicing tolerance of uncertainty, noticing mental compulsions, clarifying your values, and taking meaningful action even when anxiety shows up.
The goal isn't to create a life where you never feel anxious or uncomfortable. It's to build the confidence to live the life you want without anxiety calling all the shots.
