Is anxiety or OCD controlling your life? If you're trapped in endless rumination, paralyzed by "what if" thinking, or avoiding the things that matter most—you don't have to stay stuck. Effective, research-backed treatments can bring real and lasting relief. Panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, and phobias–like driving or flying–can feel isolating, but they're highly treatable. I specialize in evidence-based approaches for anxiety and OCD, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My approach is direct, practical, and compassionate.
In therapy, we'll work together to understand the patterns keeping you stuck and practice new ways of responding. You'll learn methods to gradually face your fears, build trust in yourself, and reconnect with what truly matters in your life. Avoidance is how anxiety maintains control—but you can discover a different way forward.
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.
