Your mind never stops. You second-guess yourself, overanalyze everything, and seek reassurance—but the relief never lasts. You replay conversations, obsess over what you said, and fear you made the wrong choice. The constant mental noise makes it impossible to focus, trust your feelings, or feel present in your life. Anxiety and intrusive thoughts pull you into endless loops of doubt—especially about relationships, your identity, and major life choices. On the outside, you seem put together, but inside, you feel stuck, exhausted, and mentally drained. You want clarity and confidence, but you don't know how to get it.

I specialize in treating high-functioning women with anxiety and OCD who struggle with self-doubt, reassurance-seeking, and intrusive thoughts. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), you’ll learn to quiet intrusive thoughts, stop seeking reassurance, and build self-trust—without getting stuck in mental loops.

I know how exhausting it is to feel stuck in your head all the time. You deserve support from someone who understands anxiety and OCD - someone who won’t just tell you to “stop worrying”. Let’s work together so you can trust yourself and quiet the mental noise. Schedule a complimentary consultation today - I would love to meet you!
