Anxiety and OCD

The old methods to "get rid of" anxiety don’t work, and many anxious clients have been to various counselors trying to "make it go away". 

​

I use a more effective approach to instead change your relationship with anxiety and put you back in control. I use an integrated approach, combining IFS (Internal Family Systems) , CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ICBT (   ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) Brainspotting, and ERP (Exposure Response Prevention - the gold standard treatment for OCD) to change the way we think about our anxious thoughts and allow us to move through life in a different, more positive way. I help clients decrease the overwhelming power of their emotions, while increasing the power of their thinking. I am also trained in HRT (Habit Reversal Training and ComB) to treat Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors such as Trichotillomania and Excoriation. 

​

The tools I give clients directly deal with the anxiety, and go further than traditional deep breathing, and thought-stopping or distraction techniques.

​

It involves "homework/practice" between sessions and so that when therapy is over, you are competent in your new ways of thinking. You can go as deep as you would like to go with your therapy. 

Highly functional clients, who have undergone treatment, and do not need mental health counseling anymore may graduate to a Coaching Program if they still desire services.
