Individual Therapy
Therapy that sees the whole person, not just a diagnosis.
You know you don’t want to keep feeling this way, but you’re not sure what needs to be different.
Maybe you’re overthinking everything, dealing with intrusive thoughts, feeling emotionally exhausted, or noticing that past experiences are still affecting you. You may be caught in patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-doubt that leave little room for what you need.
Relationships can add another layer. Maybe you avoid conflict to keep the peace, question whether your feelings are valid, or feel like you don’t have an equal voice in an important relationship.
You’ve found ways to keep going, but getting through the day isn’t the same as feeling like you’re really living your life.
Individual therapy gives you a place to understand what’s going on, recognize patterns that aren’t working for you, and begin making changes that feel more like you.

My approach draws from evidence-based therapies while being tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and goals. Some methods I use include:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an approach that helps people respond differently to unwanted, uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences instead of feeling stuck fighting against them.
Rather than focusing on getting rid of anxiety or discomfort completely, ACT helps build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, make space for difficult experiences, and continue moving toward what matters most to you. Through practical skills, reflection, and mindfulness-based strategies, ACT encourages a more compassionate and values-driven way of relating to yourself and your life.
At its core, ACT is about learning to be present, open up to your experience, and take meaningful action—even when life feels difficult.
-
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based treatment commonly used for OCD and anxiety. ERP helps you gradually face fears, uncertainty, or intrusive thoughts while reducing the compulsions, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance patterns that keep anxiety going over time.
-
Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment approach designed specifically for OCD. It focuses on helping you recognize how doubt and imagined possibilities can pull you away from trusting your own senses, experiences, and reality, so you can feel less stuck in obsessive thinking patterns.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach used to help process traumatic or distressing experiences that may continue to feel emotionally “stuck.” EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful memories so they feel less overwhelming in the present.
