Adult Therapy

I work with adults who want to change a specific pattern, understand recurring difficulties, or find greater stability and direction in their lives. Together, we explore what is troubling you, what may be sustaining it, and what would help you move forward. This may mean navigating a difficult life transition, addressing relationship patterns, developing greater independence, or gradually facing fears you have been avoiding.

I treat anxiety, perfectionism, low mood, low self-esteem, and relationship and family concerns. I also provide specialized treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized and social anxiety, phobias, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as skin picking and hair pulling.

My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral methods with attention to how you relate to yourself and others. I take time to understand your experience and what matters to you, while helping you take practical steps toward change. Together, we explore patterns that sustain distress, including how they may emerge in therapy. Depending on your needs, treatment may include individualized exposure for anxiety and phobias, exposure and response prevention (ExRP) for OCD, exposure-based work for anxiety, or habit reversal training for BFRBs. Throughout, our work is grounded in a therapeutic relationship where feeling understood and supported provides a foundation for facing difficult experiences and trying new ways of responding.
