Has anxiety switched from being a simple adjective to consuming your entire existence? Unwanted thoughts have a way of making us feel like out-of-control monsters, leading to isolation, panic, and anxious rumination. It’s hell to fear your own mind and so frustrating to try all the self-care in the world without it actually improving your anxiety. But there’s actually really hopeful news: there are effective, targeted treatment options for anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and mental compulsions. I’d love to help you create a new relationship to your "what if" thoughts, reduce compulsions, and get anxiety back in its lane.
I specialize in treating OCD, anxiety disorders, and perinatal concerns for women who are sick of anxiety running their lives. I use treatments shown to be effective in overcoming common women's issues like burnout, trying to conceive, and high anxiety. My goal is for you to finally find relief from anxiety and I do so through ICBT, ACT, and ERP therapies.
You don’t have to be at war with your thoughts. Together we will work to increase confidence, process grief, and overcome anxiety and intrusive thoughts using therapy approaches that actually work. Ready for the next step? Send me an email today to set up a free 15 minute consultation and explore my website for more info.
