When you or your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD, it can feel overwhelming and disrupt daily life. As a specialist in treating anxiety disorders and OCD, I provide a supportive environment with practical tools to manage symptoms and break unhelpful patterns. I am a SPACE-trained provider and have experience treating children, teens, and adults struggling with worry, avoidance, panic, intrusive thoughts and compulsions. SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is one of my favorite approaches for childhood anxiety—it’s short-term, parent-focused, and empowers caregivers to lead the change.
As a therapist specializing in anxiety disorders and OCD, I provide evidence-based treatment to help individuals manage symptoms and build resilience. Using proven approaches, I empower clients with practical strategies to reduce anxiety symptoms, break unhelpful patterns, and regain a sense of empowerment in their lives.
Effective counseling for anxiety involves acquiring and practicing new skills both within and outside of sessions. While this process may present its challenges, it can also be an enriching and enjoyable experience, fostering connection and growth. Let's work together to empower you, your child or your family to disempower anxiety.
