Specialized Care for OCD & Anxiety

OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

OCD can make unwanted thoughts, images, urges, and doubts feel incredibly important or difficult to ignore. Therapy can help you understand the cycle of obsessions and compulsions and begin responding to uncertainty in a different way.

I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based treatment for OCD, to help clients gradually face what feels difficult while reducing compulsions, avoidance, and reassurance-seeking.

  • Obsessions

  • Compulsions

  • Intrusive thoughts

  • Reassurance-seeking

  • Mental compulsions

Symptoms could include:

  • Avoidance

  • Relationship/“what if” OCD

  • Contamination fears

  • Harm-related fears

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety can show up in many different ways—from constant worry and overthinking to physical symptoms, avoidance, difficulty with uncertainty, or fear of what might happen next.

Therapy can help you develop a different relationship with anxiety so that fear doesn't have to dictate your choices, relationships, or daily life.

  • Generalized Anxiety

  • Social Anxiety

  • Separation Anxiety

  • Panic

Areas could include:

  • Health Anxiety

  • Anxiety related to uncertainty

  • Excessive reassurance-seeking

Specific Phobias & Fears

When a fear begins to control what you do—or what you avoid—life can become increasingly limited. Treatment can help you gradually approach feared situations in a safe, structured way while building confidence in your ability to cope.

  • Animals/insects

  • Medical Procedures

  • Vomiting

  • Driving

Examples:

  • Flying

  • Needles

  • Heights

  • Situational fears

Depression & ADHD

Depression and ADHD can affect much more than mood or attention. They can influence motivation, relationships, confidence, organization, emotional regulation, and everyday functioning.

Therapy can provide practical strategies while also addressing the emotional challenges that often come alongside these concerns.

  • Depression

  • Low Motivation

  • Executive Functioning

  • ADHD-related challenges

Areas may include:

  • Emotional regulation

  • Self-esteem

  • Coping skills

Children & Adolescents

Children and adolescents may experience anxiety and OCD differently than adults. Worries may show up as avoidance, reassurance-seeking, physical complaints, meltdowns, difficulty separating from caregivers, or changes in routines and activities.

Therapy is adapted to each child's developmental level and may incorporate parents and caregivers when appropriate.

I don't believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. I use evidence-based approaches while tailoring treatment to your age, needs, strengths, and goals.
