Individual therapy provides a supportive, collaborative space to explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences while building greater self-awareness and meaningful change. My approach primarily draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), integrating practical, evidence-based tools to help you better understand your patterns, manage difficult emotions, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized, evidence-based treatment for OCD and other anxiety disorders. ERP involves gradually and intentionally approaching intrusive thoughts, while learning to reduce compulsions and safety seeking behaviors. Through repeated practice, you learn that anxiety and uncertainty can be tolerated without needing to perform compulsions or escape uncomfortable experiences, helping you learn how to  change your relationship with intrusive thoughts and anxiety.

In sessions we work collaboratively to identify intrusive thoughts and compulsions and develop a gradual exposure plan based on your individual needs and goals. Exposures are introduced at a manageable pace, with the goal not necessarily being to eliminate anxiety, but to help you learn that you can experience discomfort, uncertainty, and difficult thoughts without needing to respond to them in ways that keep the OCD cycle going. With practice, ERP can help reduce the power that OCD has over your life and increase your ability to engage in the activities, relationships, and experiences that matter most to you.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy supports clients who are navigating trauma, distressing life experiences, anxiety, or painful memories that continue to affect their emotional well-being. EMDR is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain process experiences that may feel unresolved or overwhelming. Using a structured, collaborative process that may include bilateral stimulation such as guided eye movements, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to work through difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable.
