Evidence-Based Relief for Anxiety and OCD 

When racing thoughts, chronic worry, or intrusive mental loops begin dictating your daily choices, talking about the problem isn't always enough. I provide specialized individual therapy using CBT and ERP—proven behavioral treatments designed to help you regain control over your life and your routine.

Moving Beyond the Exhaustion of Constant Worry

Anxiety and OCD have a way of shrinking your world. It often starts with a single "what-if" thought, which quickly snowballs into hours of scanning for danger, overthinking, or performing repetitive physical or mental actions just to feel safe.

You might find yourself experiencing:

  • Generalized Anxiety: A persistent, underlying sense of dread or physical tension that makes it hard to relax or sleep.

  • Intrusive Thoughts: Disturbing, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that seem to come out of nowhere and feel impossible to shake.

  • Compulsive Habits: Feeling driven to check things repeatedly, seek constant reassurance, or repeat certain mental checklists to neutralize an anxious feeling.

  • Avoidance: Skipping out on social situations, places, or responsibilities because the anticipatory anxiety feels too heavy to carry.

Living in a constant state of hyper-vigilance is exhausting. But these responses are patterns that can be shifted. With the right tools, you can learn to tolerate uncomfortable thoughts and situations safely, and with practice, they naturally become much less anxiety-provoking.

Active, Goal-Oriented Protocols That Work

In my practice, we do not just talk about your anxiety; we actively change your relationship to it. Using gold-standard behavioral therapies, I will equip you with concrete skills to face anxious thoughts without letting them run your day.

My targeted treatment approach for anxiety and OCD includes:

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
    ERP is the most effective behavioral treatment for OCD and severe anxiety. Together, we will create a structured, collaborative plan to gently face the thoughts or situations that trigger your distress. The crucial second half of this protocol—Response Prevention—teaches you how to tolerate the initial spike of anxiety safely, without relying on exhausting compulsions or mental loops. Through this practice, your brain builds new pathways of safety, and the intense urge to escape or fix the feeling begins to fade.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Behavior Change
    Anxiety thrives on unhelpful thought distortions. Through CBT, we will identify the specific cognitive patterns driving your stress. More importantly, we focus on concrete behavior change. We will actively adjust the daily habits and avoidance tactics that accidentally keep anxiety alive, giving you practical, real-world tools to change how you feel by changing how you respond.

A Highly Collaborative, Transparent Process

Starting behavioral therapy can feel intimidating, which is why our work will always be transparent and paced to your readiness. I will never push you into a therapeutic experiment or exposure that we have not fully discussed and agreed upon beforehand.

In our individual sessions, you can expect an active partnership. We will track your progress, practice tangible coping skills in a warm, confidential space, and design small, manageable behavioral exercises for you to try between sessions. The ultimate goal is to turn you into your own therapist, giving you a lifetime toolkit to handle whatever stress comes your way.
