Welcome to Specialized Care for Anxiety and OCD

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 have prevented them from reaching their full potential and enjoying life again.

My Specialties

Areas where my experience and training can bring the biggest changes in your life.

Anxiety

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, 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.

Specific OCD Plan

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 ERP and CBT can lead to significant improvement in as little as 12 weeks. I’ll create a personalized treatment plan—based on my experience and training—to help you regain control of your life and experience the happiness that OCD has robbed you of.

Couples

Improving What You’ve Got!

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.

Depression

Depression is a mood disorder marked by ongoing feelings of sadness, low mood, and a loss of interest in daily life. These symptoms can interfere with essential functions such as appetite, energy, concentration, and sleep. While some people experience a single episode, many face recurring periods where symptoms persist most of the day, nearly every day. You don’t have to continue feeling this way — effective support and treatment can make a meaningful difference.
