Do you battle anxious thoughts or time-consuming rituals daily? Do you find yourself engaging in avoidance behaviors or seeking reassurance from others? As a therapist, I am passionate about helping my clients on their journey to positive change and can assist them in overcoming panic attacks, anxiety, OCD, and/or phobias. Asking for help dealing with these issues can be scary. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to share your struggles and explore healthier coping skills together. If you've sought treatment in the past without success, don't give up! Let me tell you how I can help you overcome your fears and get back to living the life you deserve.
I pride myself on being collaborative with clients to make sure we build a treatment plan that is most helpful to them as an individual - no cookie-cutter treatment here.
First session
In our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, your history with counseling/mental health, treatment goals, and your expectations of therapy. I will also answer any questions you have about therapy or treatment. From there, we will develop a treatment plan to address the issues that you would like to focus on. Sessions from then will be focused on working towards treatment goals and utilizing your chosen modality (I-CBT or ERP) in session.
Strengths
My biggest strengths as a counselor are openness, flexibility, and authenticity. I have lived experience with OCD, so I know firsthand how debilitating it can be. This gives me a unique understanding and ability to empathize with clients struggling with similar problems.
