If you are dealing with anxiety, OCD, or a phobia I can help. I have been working with these issues for decades and have personal experience myself. I know it can be overwhelming! There's so much confusion and it can be hard to find the right help, especially with OCD and phobias like Aerophobia (fear of flying) and Emetophobia (fear of vomiting). I am passionate about helping clients get informed, feel supported, and receive effective therapy.
OCD and anxiety cycles can take over so much it doesn't look like your normal life anymore. The good news is that consistent, compassionate therapy can lead to recovery. Through Best Self Therapy & Wellness, I help my clients not just cope but heal and thrive to be their best self.
I draw from a variety of effective therapies that work together to break unhealthy cycles. My approach draws from a variety of therapies including ACT, CBT, ERP, & mindfulness-based stress reduction principles. You deserve peace. I hope you will take the next best step. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a free consultation. Thank you!
