Are you feeling stuck in your struggle to manage anxiety, with no sign of relief? Do you find yourself shying away from activities or missing out on things you care about in life? Maybe you often feel overwhelmed by a whirlwind of racing thoughts or persistent rumination, leading to feelings of hopelessness and disconnection from your work, school, or relationships. While anxiety can be tough to navigate, we can work together to pinpoint triggers and break through unhelpful patterns. I specialize in evidence-based approaches for individuals facing anxiety disorders, such as OCD, phobias, panic attacks, and eating disorders.

I utilize Exposure with Response Prevention therapy (ERP), the number one evidence based approach for treating a variety of anxiety disorders, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). ERP is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Inference Based CBT (I-CBT) for OCD and anxiety.

It sounds like you're ready to embark on a transformative journey toward managing anxiety. It’s important to remember that you don’t have to face anxiety alone. I'm here to support you, and my mission is to create a safe space for healing. Check out my website for additional free articles and resources, or to book a consultation today!
