I specialize in treating adults (18 and up) who are dealing with moderate to severe anxiety that is interfering with their day to day lives. The main disorders I treat are emetophobia and other phobias, OCD, health anxiety, and panic disorder. My clients want greater understanding of their particular anxiety disorder, practical, evidence-based help, and a compassionate “coach” to guide them in the process and that’s what I endeavor to provide.
The anxiety disorders that I treat include OCD, emetophobia, health anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and phobias. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT).
If you have questions about the types of therapy I do or are considering therapy for your moderate to severe anxiety or OCD, please give me a call or send an email. I'm happy to consult with you prior to scheduling.
