About Esther
My approach to therapy incorporates the belief that people heal best when they feel understood, supported, and given practical tools they can actually use in real life. I draw from a mix of evidenced-based approaches including Harm Reduction, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Psychodynamic therapy, so we can tailor our work to what fits you, not the other way around. I work with individuals and couples ages 15 and up, and I specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, including intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the anxiety that comes with feeling stuck in your own mind. I also have extensive experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, personality and mood disorders, and psychotic‑spectrum conditions. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I’ll help you understand what’s driving your patterns, build skills to manage tough moments, and create meaningful changes that last. Whether you’re navigating intrusive thoughts, relationship stress, emotional overwhelm, or major life transitions, you don’t have to do it alone, we’ll work through it together at a pace that feels right for you.
