Understanding "why or how" a problem has become a problem is not enough; "doing something about it" is what matters. If we work together, we'll come up with a treatment plan to tap into the drivers of your struggles and start making a shift. I encourage behavioral-change processes based on your personal values and what's keeping you stuck. If you're not ready to make a change, let's help you move from stuckness to readiness. I specialize in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). www.eastbaybehaviortherapycenter.com
I work with children, adolescents, & adults struggling with perfectionism, procrastination, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, all types of anxiety, and emotion regulation problems.
I'm the author of the following books: Acceptance and Commitment Skills for Perfectionism and High-Achieving Behaviors; ACT beyond OCD: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy workbook for adults; The ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD: Unhook Yourself and Live Life to the Full; Escaping the Emotional Roller Coaster; Parenting a troubled teen.
