Alva Counseling

Are you struggling with seemingly endless mental spirals, rumination, or obsessive loops about the what-ifs? Taboo or intrusive thoughts that feel unsettling or completely unlike you? Overwhelming doubt, fear, and guilt no matter how hard you try to “just let it go”? The sense that nothing has helped – not therapy, reassurance, nor distraction? You are not alone. These symptoms are common with OCD and/or anxiety. Targeted treatment can help empower you to break free from the cycle and reconnect with the present moment in a meaningful way.

I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I emphasize practical strategies and aim to bring compassion, curiosity, and a touch of humor (when it fits) to help create a safe, collaborative, and growth-oriented therapeutic experience.

I view counseling as a place to explore openly, gain insight, and build practical skills to move towards change that aligns with your values and goals. Reaching out is a big step. When you’re ready, reach out and I’d be happy to chat to see if we may be a good fit.
