You deserve more than just surviving. Relief from anxiety and OCD is possible. You don’t have to be controlled by constant rumination, canceling plans, or overthinking decisions. Whether you’re dealing with panic, intrusive thoughts, or phobias (like driving or flying), effective treatment can help you find freedom and lasting relief. I use evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you gradually face fears, build trust in yourself, and reconnect with what truly matters in your life.
In therapy, we’ll work together to understand patterns that keep you stuck and practice new ways of responding. My approach is active, compassionate, and practical—focused on helping you face challenges with confidence, apply skills in daily life, and create lasting change, not just insight.
I offer anti-racist, social justice-oriented, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy where all aspects of your identity are welcomed. You don’t have to stay stuck in fear and avoidance. If this approach resonates, email me and set up a free 15-minute consultation to explore living with greater freedom and alignment.
