Freedom is a heavy burden. The task of authoring our lives is a serious one, which cannot be meaningfully handed over to anyone else. In keeping with this belief, I work hard to respect the autonomy of the people I see in therapy. Rather than attempt to hand you solutions to problems in your life, I seek to understand with you as fully as possible the past and present factors that affect how you think, feel, and act. Understanding can be transformative. As we shine light on aspects of ourselves ...

Your anxiety and OCD may show up in different ways: panic attacks, "derealization," obsessive doubting, or even with chronic IBS/abdominal pain. A cycle is born when these symptoms then trigger more anxiety/fear. It can be exhausting to focus on, and these problems can really affect your everyday life and choices. Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate the discom...
