From the outside, does it look like you’re doing okay, but inside, anxiety feels constant, your mind won’t stop looping, or habits that once helped you cope now feel hard to control? Let’s be honest, life can feel pretty overwhelming at times. Maybe you’re stuck in cycles of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or using substances to manage stress, only to feel more overwhelmed. If anxiety, OCD, or addiction is interfering with your life, therapy can help. I work with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, and addiction, offering practical, evidence-based tools to reduce symptoms and understand patterns that keep you stuck.
With over 9 years of experience, I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and ERP, but therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. My focus is on what works best for you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, OCD, addiction, or major life transitions, we’ll work together to help you build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
Starting therapy is a big step and it’s completely normal to feel a little nervous or intimidated. If you’re ready to explore what support can look like (and maybe even laugh a little along the way) I’d love to connect with you for a free consultation!
