I am a trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapist with a focus on helping individuals overcome OCD, anxiety, and related conditions such as phobias. My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique experiences and goals. I work to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can better understand your thoughts and behaviors, develop practical coping skills, and gradually face what feels overwhelming. Together, we focus on building confidence, reducing distress, and helping you move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful. See below for approaches I have been trained in and utilize based on the needs of each client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps people understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning new coping strategies, CBT empowers individuals to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively. The focus is on developing skills you can use in everyday life to create meaningful, lasting change.

Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized, evidence-based form of therapy used to treat OCD and anxiety-related disorders. It helps individuals gradually face feared thoughts, situations, or sensations while learning to resist compulsive or avoidant behaviors. Over time, ERP reduces anxiety and builds confidence, allowing people to regain a sense of control and engage more fully in their lives.

Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is an evidence-based approach designed specifically for obsessive-compulsive disorder. It focuses on how doubt and imagined possibilities give rise to obsessions, rather than on fear itself. By learning to recognize and challenge the reasoning processes that lead to obsessive thinking, I-CBT helps individuals reconnect with their lived experience, reduce compulsive behaviors, and respond to uncertainty with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapeutic Approaches

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps people develop a healthier relationship with their thoughts and emotions. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult experiences, ACT focuses on acceptance, mindfulness, and values-driven action. By learning to make space for discomfort while committing to what truly matters, individuals can build psychological flexibility and live more meaningful, fulfilling lives—even in the presence of challenges.

Mindfulness Based Therapy Integration

Mindfulness-based therapy is an evidence-informed approach that helps individuals develop present-moment awareness with openness and curiosity. By learning to observe thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment, clients can reduce reactivity and respond to stress more skillfully. Mindfulness-based practices support emotional regulation, increased self-compassion, and greater clarity, allowing people to navigate life’s challenges with balance and intention.
