Most of my work is with clients who struggle with OCD, anxiety, trauma, and depression. To start our work off, we take 1-3 sessions to paint an accurate picture of the issues and their causes. From there, we craft a treatment plan that meets the client's unique preferences, needs, strengths, and goals. Past clients typically report a decrease in symptoms by session 4/5.

Most therapists are trained to use blended approaches that center on a lot of talking. But over the last few years, I have seen just how effective treatment manuals can be. As such, I try to stick to evidence-based treatments whenever possible, so you get better faster and stay better longer.
