“Hint: the cage is not Iocked.” (Nova Knutson). Anxiety does not define who you are; you deserve to be emotionally free. I work with adult women experiencing chronic anxiety looking to achieve practical, long-term relief. Self-doubt, perfectionism, peopIe-pleasing, anxious attachment, & obsessive-compulsive tendencies may be common issues you're struggling with. Through therapy, you wiII learn and implement effective skills to minimize anxiety's impact on your day-to-day functioning. Anxiety relief is completely possible for you, and you don't have to live in a constant state of worry, fear, or "what-if" thought patterns.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
A very effective approach for anxiety and OCD, I help you stay grounded in the present moment through challenging irrational beliefs, replacing them with healthy & more effective new beliefs, and we will take a directive and active approach to reducing the impact of negative, self-defeating thoughts and feelings.
Attachment-based
Together, we can explore your attachment style in various relationships, how that style has been informed by earlier life experiences, and how we can move you toward a secure attachment style.
Compassion Focused
We will explore parts of your life/experience that you struggle to accept due to social conditioning, deeply ingrained beliefs, and more. We will deconstruct the internal voice that says we "should" be or feel a certain way, and empower you with new inner dialogue.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I help you reduce compulsions, avoidance, and rumination on obsessions through the use of ERP. With ERP, we will gently and gradually expose you to worries/fears in a way that does not flood you, but rather, allows you to tolerate discomfort/uncertainty more effectively, little by little. Eventually, you will have a greater tolerance to the anxieties and concerns that had been fueling OCD tendencies.
