Feeling scared and ashamed of distressing thoughts, being stuck in repetitive behaviors, avoiding activities because of intense anxiety, tension with loved because of overwhelming fear - these are all things that people with OCD and anxiety talk about. People who struggle with these issues often feel afraid of their fears coming true. They often feel a sense that something is wrong but don't know how to fix it.
I have worked extensively in treatment centers and in private practice with a wide variety of clients. I focus on working with OCD, anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder, social anxiety, agoraphobia, panic disorder, specific phobias, hair pulling, skin picking, hoarding, and compulsive decluttering.
People who seek therapy for OCD and anxiety often experience significant improvements in their emotions, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. Therapy can provide a warm, trusting, and supportive environment to help people overcome the obstacles that mental health issues create.

Therapy looks a little different for everyone. For some, therapy will include a lot of exposure work early on in therapy. For others, we start with assessment and learning about OCD and Anxiety. Other people want to focus on talking about their families and how their childhood impacted them. There's no 'one size fits all'! Therapy is be very flexible and fluid.

I have training in several behavioral and psychodynamic modalities and I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposures (ERP) when working with my clients. ACT is very helpful in targeting symptoms related to OCD and anxiety.
