If you struggle with anxiety, OCD, or depression, you know how hard it can be to cope. The defeating thoughts and feelings can seem relentless, like something bad is about to happen or that you won't be able to function. Instead of moving confidently toward the life and relationships you want, you find yourself stuck in worry, self-doubt, and avoidance. Imagine turning the tables on these unhelpful patterns, being more realistic and useful in your thinking, relating flexibly to your emotions, and taking consistent action to build a more satisfying life. I'd be honored to help you get there.
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help you think, feel, and function better. We'll discuss your goals and how to change patterns of thinking and behavior to achieve them. CBT is a solution-oriented approach to building coping strategies that make life easier.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression, anger, and relationship problems. I offer evidence-based, professional treatment in the context of a collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. For a free consultation, please e-mail me.
