WHO I WORK WITH

Many of my clients are successful, thoughtful adults who are functioning well on the outside but struggling privately with anxiety, OCD, panic, perfectionism, or substance use.

Common concerns include:

Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors (OCD)

Panic attacks or chronic anxiety

Avoidance of situations such as travel, driving, or public spaces

Health anxiety or fear of illness

Difficulty reducing alcohol or substance use despite negative consequences

High levels of stress, overthinking, or perfectionism

HOW THERAPY WORKS HERE

Therapy in my practice is active, collaborative, and focused on change. We identify the patterns that are maintaining your symptoms and build practical strategies to shift them.

I take an engaged, directive role in treatment when helpful — helping you face avoided situations, test new behaviors, and develop tools to reduce anxiety over time.

Treatment is grounded in evidence-based approaches including:

Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

SPECIALTY AREAS

OCD & ERP Therapy
Treatment for intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, contamination fears, and other OCD presentations using Exposure & Response Prevention.

Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Treatment for panic attacks, generalized anxiety, avoidance patterns, health anxiety, and phobias.

Substance Use & Harm Reduction Therapy
Support for individuals seeking to change their relationship with alcohol or other substances in a structured, nonjudgmental setting.

Intensive Exposure Therapy
Extended, focused sessions for phobias and anxiety conditions that benefit from real-world exposure work, such as fear of flying, driving anxiety, and public transportation avoidance.

INTENSIVE TREATMENT

In addition to traditional weekly therapy, I offer intensive exposure-based treatment for anxiety and phobia-related concerns.

These sessions allow for extended, structured exposure work in real-world settings and may include in-office work, in-vivo exposure exercises, or community-based practice.

Intensive treatment can be especially helpful for:

Fear of flying

Driving anxiety

Panic and agoraphobia

Contamination fears

Medical or dental anxiety

Other specific phobias
