Hi, I'm Sheila, a psychotherapist at the Upstate Center for OCD and Anxiety. I specialize in OCD and anxiety disorders in individuals of all ages. Common challenges my clients face involve intrusive thoughts, rumination and related behaviors that can present barriers to well-being. In addition to anxiety, I work with people experiencing depression, trauma and life transitions. I also enjoy providing couples therapy. My approach is compassion based and rooted in the belief that we all have the resilience to achieve meaningful, long-lasting growth.
I engage clients in a variety of modalities including but not limited to Exposure and Response Prevention as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Psychotherapy is one of many ways to access our resiliency and it is my goal to make sure it is a powerful tool for people to discover a path forward.
Sharing our experience with someone new can feel intimidating and uncomfortable sometimes. I'd like to invite you to an initial conversation so you can get a better sense of my approach and whether it feels like a positive fit. Thank you for reading my profile.
