Let’s be real. Nobody wants to stop what they’re doing to shop around for a therapist. Who has the time, the energy, or the emotional bandwidth for that? You’re scrolling through profiles hoping someone gets it—someone who understands what it feels like when your mind won’t slow down, when anxiety keeps calling the shots, or when you're exhausted from trying to outthink every "what if." I work with people who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive patterns—people who feel stuck in cycles of worry and wonder why their brain won’t let them move forward.
I specialize in helping people with anxiety disorders, stress, OCD, and related concerns. Using evidence-based approaches like ERP, ACT, and CBT, we’ll work together to change your relationship with anxiety—not let it control your life. Therapy focuses on building confidence, facing uncertainty, reducing avoidance and compulsions, and creating space
Whether you're navigating anxiety, OCD, relationship stress, burnout, life transitions, or feeling stuck, we'll work together to create lasting change. I'll bring practical tools, evidence-based strategies, warmth, and humor to help you move forward—not toward perfection, but toward freedom, flexibility, and a life guided by your values instead of your fears
Take the first step to help. Christina Upright now
