I use evidence-based approaches that have been shown to be highly effective. CBT is one of the primary methods, helping identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety. For OCD I use ERP which gradually exposes individuals to their fears in a safe controlled way while preventing compulsions. These treatments are designed to empower you to face your fears and manage your anxiety.
