People seek professional help for a variety of reasons. My goal is to treat them with respect, understanding, and compassion—in a safe and comfortable environment—as they work to overcome OCD or other types of anxiety that may have prevented them from reaching their full potential and enjoying life again.
Feeling anxious doesn’t always mean a person has a mental health condition. Many people occasionally feel anxious from time to time. But when anxiety becomes frequent, out of proportion to a situation, or persists after the situation is over, it can be a sign of an anxiety disorder.
A first-line treatment for anxiety is Cognitive Behavior Therapy and there’s also Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, among other approaches to target anxiety. Each strategy aims to help a person understand the thoughts, beliefs, or experiences that may be contributing to persistent anxiety, and ways of changing or coping with them.
Ready to take meaningful control of your OCD? Traditional talk therapy often isn’t enough to reduce obsessions and compulsions, but a targeted, evidence‑based approach grounded in Exposure Response Prevention can lead to significant improvement in as little as 12 weeks. ERP involves gradually exposing yourself to the things you fear. At the same time, you learn to refrain from the compulsions you use to reduce anxiety.
ERP has been proven to be 70-80 percent effective in reducing OCD behaviors. With a personalized treatment plan—based on my training and your willingness—you can regain control of your life and experience the happiness that OCD has robbed you of.
Are you unhappy with some aspects of your relationship? Improve what you’ve got so you’ll have greater fulfillment and satisfaction and avoid fighting and hurt feelings. Don’t wait for problems to boil over. Address your concerns now before they become too difficult to solve.
It is possible to survive an affair and forgive the betrayer. Some couples emerge from such a situation stronger in their love and respect for each other than ever before. But rebuilding a love that lasts takes effort and a willingness to mend the bonds broken between the betrayed and the betrayer.
More than just a bout of the blues, depression isn’t a weakness and you can’t simply “snap out” of it. Depression may require long-term care. But most people with depression feel better with immediate help.
Through therapy, they can address ongoing feelings of sadness; low mood; low energy; lack of motivation; lack of concentration; tiredness; weight loss or weight gain; loss of appetite or increased appetite; among other symptoms.
Depression takes many forms. But it’s a treatable disorder, and not something you have to continue to live with. Effective support and treatment can make a meaningful difference.
