Therapy Modalities
Exposure and Response Prevention
I will help you gradually face the thoughts, situations, or sensations that trigger anxiety—without engaging in compulsive behaviors or avoidance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
This practical, skills-based therapy teaches you how to stay present, calm intense emotions, and handle stress without falling back into old patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
If past experiences or intrusive memories still trigger anxiety or fear, EMDR offers a way to help you reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming or “stuck.”
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Through mindfulness and values-based action, ACT guides you to live with more presence, so anxiety and OCD no longer dictate how you show up in your life.
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
By learning to recognize when your mind is giving weight to imagined threats instead of real ones, you can begin to trust your reasoning again and reduce the pull of compulsions.
