Feeling scared and ashamed of distressing thoughts, being stuck in repetitive behaviors that feel impossible to stop, avoidance of things that used to matter because of intense fear, frequent conflict with loved ones over fears being ‘real’ - these are all things that clients with OCD and Anxiety related disorders report. People who struggle with these issues express feeling incredibly stuck and afraid of their worst fears coming true while also trying to manage relationships and pressure from life obligations.
I specialize in the treatment of OCD and Anxiety related disorders. I have worked extensively in treatment centers and in private practice with a wide variety of clients. I focus on working with OCD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Panic Disorder, hair pulling, skin picking, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Hoarding.
Individuals who seek therapy for OCD and Anxiety often experience significant improvements in their capabilities, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. I am dedicated to providing a warm, trusting, and supportive environment while helping individuals overcome OCD and Anxiety and make the changes they want to see.
