You're in the right place if…
- Intrusive thoughts keep showing up no matter how hard you push them away.
- You check, re-check, and ask for reassurance more than you'd like to.
- Worry runs the show — sleep, work, relationships, all of it.
- You've been told to “just relax,” and it has never once worked.
Specialties
What I help with
Anxiety wears a lot of outfits. These are the ones I know best.
-
OCD
Intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the loop between them. Treated with ERP, the gold-standard approach for OCD.
-
Generalized anxiety
Constant what-ifs, over-planning, and a body that won't settle even when nothing is wrong.
-
Panic & phobias
Racing heart, fear of the fear itself, and the places and situations you've quietly started avoiding.
-
Social anxiety
Overthinking what you said, what you'll say next, and how you came across — long after the moment has passed.
-
Health anxiety
Symptom searching, body scanning, and reassurance that feels great for about ten minutes.
-
Perfectionism
Never-good-enough standards that keep you stuck, exhausted, and strangely behind on everything.
Approach
How we'll work together
I use treatments with real evidence behind them, delivered with a lot of warmth and a little humor. Sessions are collaborative and practical — you'll leave with things to try, not just things to think about.
Let's talk-
01
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
We gently, gradually face what feels scary and practice letting the urge to neutralize pass. Over time your brain learns the alarm was false.
-
02
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Spotting the thinking traps that keep anxiety fed, then testing them out in the real world instead of in your head.
-
03
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Making room for discomfort so you can move toward what matters to you, instead of away from what scares you.

ERP is the most effective treatment we have for OCD. It's gradual and always collaborative: you set the pace, and we start with things that feel doable, not terrifying. Most people are surprised by how quickly it starts to feel empowering.
Everyone is different, but focused work on OCD or anxiety often brings real change within a few months of weekly sessions. We'll check progress together regularly so you always know where things stand.
