We will take action and outsmart anxiety and OCD together, using Exposure & Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.
Feeling worried much of the time, having panic attacks, and feeling so overwhelmed by your thoughts can be exhausting. My clients often find themselves in this loop of having debilitating thoughts, needing to get rid of them, keeping track of what triggers anxiety so they can avoid it, and yet the worry seems to grow even stronger. And eventually, they are beyond frustrated that these worries seem to be taking over their life. Some thoughts can be about contamination or health, fear of harming others, anxiety related to social situations or morality. Whatever it is, the fears interfere with what's most important to them.

Life doesn't come with a manual, and like most of us, you're doing your best with the cards you've been dealt. You're motivated and eager to enhance the quality of your life. But sometimes, life's answers seem elusive, and 'proven' methods might not always resonate with your unique experiences. Just as there's no one-size-fits-all tool in a toolbox, there's no singular 'best' psychological method. For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals. While I'm extensively trained in traditional therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, bio/neurofeedback, anxiety & OCD therapy

I'm currently trained in level 2 EMDR, cognitive therapy, certified in DBT, motivational interviewing, and substance abuse prevention treatment programs including Wellbriety.
I want to make sure that the client and I are a fit when it comes to rapport. That looks like feeling comfortable sharing content that might cause uncomfortableness due to fearing judgment. If established in the first meeting, I feel confident in working with those with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, family conflicts, grief, and performance issues in school, sports, or career (to name a few). I believe the treatment models that I use can build their resilience to deal with past, current, and future challenges.

Depending on what will best suit each person, I utilize approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, or hypnosis.
I focus on the whole person—in terms of mind (motivation, depression, stress, anxiety), body (chronic illness, improving health), and soul (career paths, ending creative blockage). Most of my clients are coping with multiple stressors, which makes it difficult to make progress in any one direction. In the first few sessions I work with clients to prioritize their concerns. Then we begin to delineate the strategies for coping with each concern. The overall goal involves learning how to let go of the pain from past, to enjoy the present, and create the life you sometimes suspect that you know you truly deserve.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
