Anxiety can be debilitating. I often work with clients who have experienced being able to manage their anxiety on their own for some time until they've noticed it is effecting many areas of their life. I view each of my clients through a holistic lens and uncover how their anxiety is effecting them while at work, home, family life, relationships, social life, hobbies, education, etc. CBT is a great tool we use throughout our sessions as well as gratitude and acceptance to treat anxiety.

Addressing family concerns and conflictual relationships are a specialty of mine due to the compassionate approach I take during family sessions or individual sessions where the topic of family is the main concern. I believe it is essential to view the perspectives of each family member and ensuring that each voice is heard in order to understand the full picture. Often times, it is the repeated patterns or generational history of trauma and unhealthy behaviors that lead to the family conflict.

When treating OCD, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP), and Person Centered Therapy. CBT and ERP therapies are both proven to make a significant difference in the lives of those suffering from OCD as they aim to target changing the behaviors that continue to drive the anxiety, thoughts, and obsessions. Person Centered is also effective in providing an empathic approach to validate why the OCD may have first become unmanageable.
