My Approach

My approach to treatment is rooted in compassion, understanding, encouragement and skills. I know anxiety and OCD can be challenging, and I recognize that discussing and addressing these issues can feel just as tough and overwhelming. Since everyone is at a different stage in their treatment journey, I’ll meet you where you are and go at the pace that feels right for you.

​

I’m passionate about providing psychoeducation and skills because they were key to my own journey with anxiety. I believe that having practical tools to use during moments of distress can help build confidence and independence. Together, we’ll use these skills to confront anxiety and OCD head-on, rather than avoiding them.

​

I also believe that treatment can be enjoyable (yes, really!). Discovering what you can handle and how to manage anxiety and OCD can be both fun and empowering. I love incorporating humor into the process because, often, the thoughts our minds give us can be downright silly! Laughing at those thoughts can help shift our relationship to them and increase our ability to tolerate them.

My approach integrates proven treatment methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Habit Reversal Training (HRT).
