I take the therapeutic relationship very seriously, so I will spend a lot of time trying to get to know you, to understand what is causing obstacles in your life, and to identify what you would like to ge...

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...
Therapy provides you with a safe, supportive and healing environment to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.

In addition to helping the client cope with immediate distress and challenging problems, together we will explore these old patterns to discover their root causes. By doing so we unlock the potential for new ways of relating wi...

We bring active listening, collaboration, and warmth while delivering evidence-based, goal-oriented treatment that leads to lasting change. Because we are goal-oriented, our treatments tend to be fairly time-limited. This means that our goal is to make ourselves obsolete. We take seriously that patients come to us to live more meaningfully and to show up more often as the person they want to be. Once we have an understanding of what you are looking for, together, we’ll turn to researched stra...
