Therapy for People Living With Anxiety Disorders
Living with OCD, phobias, and/or anxiety can be a full time job- one that feels impossible to quit. Consistent treatment with a therapist that specializes in these issues can give you your life back, even if you feel like you’ve already tried everything.
-
OCD can shape your sense of self, disrupt your daily life, and can absolutely exhaust you. Therapy offers an understanding space to explore these experiences, reduce shame, and build new ways of relating to your thoughts as you move through life.
-
Phobias quietly shape your choices, limit your world, and create ongoing anxiety and avoidance that often feels hard to explain to others. Therapy offers support to understand these mental and physical sensations of panic and to build skills to start living a fulfilling life that isn’t dictated by fear.
-
Health related anxiety often shapes thoughts, decisions, and general wellbeing in subtle but powerful ways. Living with constant worry about symptoms or medical outcomes can feel isolating and scary. In therapy you’ll explore these fears, build trust in yourself and your body, and work to build your resiliency to anxious feelings.
-
Anxiety that is constant or hard to shut off impacts all areas of life. Relationships, health, work, fun- all take a hit. People dealing with it are often left exhausted and isolated. Therapy offers a designated time to better understand these patterns and start developing healthier ways to reduce the frequency of these thoughts and manage them as they happen.
How I Help
Therapy is proven to help people with anxiety by addressing the thoughts, patterns, and physical and emotional responses that keep it going.
I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and and strength-based interventions to help people understand their anxiety, build effective coping skills, and reconnect with a sense of confidence and comfort. I also integrate somatic and trauma-informed approaches to support nervous system regulation and help the body move out of chronic fight-or-flight.
Together, these modalities support long-term anxiety management, increase resilience, and help people feel more grounded and capable in their daily lives..
