Effective therapy for adults with OCD, trauma, or anxiety. Are you having difficulty with worries or fears that just won't go away? Do you feel tense and wish you could just slow down and enjoy life more? You’ve tried to address your anxiety but it just won't budge. You’re ready for more freedom from the pattern you feel stuck in. I am here to help you break that pattern. My years of specialized experience and use of research-backed techniques help people like you regain control over anxiety. The therapy I offer is strongly rooted in research while at the same time tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is results-oriented and validating. I have specialized training and experience in the best available treatments for OCD, anxiety, and trauma disorders. These treatments include exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD, exposure therapy for anxiety, PE, CPT, EMDR, and CBT for insomnia.
I offer a collaborative and empathic environment to engage in the tough work of changing your life for the better. Visit my website today to learn more about my specialized treatment approach or call me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to learning more about how I can help you!
