About

When anxiety starts to take over, many people feel stuck and overwhelmed. We avoid in the short term but in the long term our worlds get smaller. Relationships suffer because anxiety makes us irritable, restless, and distracted. Maybe you feel like you just can’t relax or you’re having trouble sleeping. I’m here to help.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention for anxiety and OCD. With this treatment we’ll dive in together to understand how your anxiety works for you. We’ll work as a team to map out what your anxiety looks like and how it’s getting in the way. Your treatment process is collaborative—we work together on this!

I work best with women who are so sick of their anxiety or OCD that they’re ready to make working on it a priority.

This can be tough given all the other competition for your time. But here’s the thing—you’ll get out of therapy what you put into therapy. For that reason, I meet with people for weekly sessions with the expectation that you’ll be able to do daily homework at home between meetings. Research shows that people who do daily practice get better faster and stay better longer than people who don’t. If you’re not ready for this kind of work right now, I’m happy to give you some referrals that may be a better fit. If you’re ready to get started, give me a call!
