Anxiety is the most common mental health struggle of all. Whether your anxiety manifests more as OCD or generalized anxiety, therapy with me will focus on decreasing avoidance and reclaiming your life. By integrating Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we can come form a treatment plan for you that includes practical next steps as well as deep connection to your values. Through a narrative focused trauma lens, we can uncover underlying sources of anxiety and relate to them in more flexible and life-giving ways.

A thoughtful path forward for sustainable relief

While your work with me would include learning coping skills, my hope is that we would also begin to engage your anxiety with curiosity and compassion, especially as it relates to your story. Over time, you can learn to view your anxious feelings as helpful signs that need attunement and compassion, not just unwanted feelings to escape and avoid.
