About My Clients
I specialize in treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders. My clients often tell me that they feel trapped by anxiety and constantly worried about the "what-ifs.” This can be a never-ending cycle of trying to make scary or uncomfortable thoughts go away, only for them to come back again, which feels demoralizing and overwhelming. I want people to know that there’s a way forward and you don't have to live your life on anxiety's terms.
My Approach to Helping
I'll help you understand and respond differently to your anxiety instead of feeling bullied by it. I use proven, effective approaches like exposure and response prevention (ERP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you get back to doing the things that are important to you without OCD or anxiety interfering. My style is direct but flexible, and I always lead with compassion. Ultimately, this is your therapy, and we always decide on next steps in treatment together.
Why I am a Good Fit for You
People regularly come to see me after going to therapy but still feeling stuck. In our work together you can expect us to focus on the following: reducing constant worrying; facing the fears that have been holding you back; approaching the people, places, and things you've been avoiding; reducing reassurance-seeking; learning to accept uncertainty; and living a fuller life! I’ve received training from the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), the Beck Institute, the Cognitive Behavior Institute, and the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS), among others. I participate in regular training and consultation focused on the treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders and actively engage with the OCD community regarding new and innovative treatment practices, strategies, and interventions. If you think we might be a good fit, let's connect.
