I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and OCD. This might look like constantly needing reassurance from loved ones, struggling in social situations and often cancelling plans, feeling fixated on your body/health, experiencing taboo or scary intrusive thoughts, or feeling the need to constantly distract yourself to stay comfortable. Anxiety can take many forms, often leading us into cycles of avoidance or compulsive behaviors. My goal is to support you in learning where your anxiety is helping you, and where it is holding you back from what is important to you.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and board-certified art therapist (ART-BC) in the state of Pennsylvania. I work with adults struggling with OCD. I use the evidence-based practices of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) to support clients in gaining relief from their OCD.
Anxiety and OCD are greatly misunderstood and misrepresented in our society. Treatment can feel intimidating or overwhelming. I encourage you to check out my website or reach out for a free consult; I'm happy to share more information on my approach. We will work together to explore difficult emotions and situations at a pace that feels right for you.
