Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-researched, evidence-based approach often used to treat anxiety, OCD, and trauma-related concerns. At its core, CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When one part of that cycle changes—like learning to challenge unhelpful thoughts or engaging in new behaviors—it can create meaningful shifts in how you feel and act.

In therapy, we’ll work together to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and build practical tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It helps you gradually face your fears and resist the urge to engage in compulsions. Over time, this process retrains your brain to feel less anxiety in the face of uncertainty, while building confidence in your ability to tolerate discomfort without relying on rituals or avoidance. I’ll guide you step-by-step, tailoring exposures to your values and goals—never forcing anything before you’re ready.

ERP is the most well-researched and effective treatment for OCD. Studies consistently show that it significantly reduces compulsions, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety—often leading to lasting improvement.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is especially helpful for people who experience intense emotions, frequent conflict, or difficulty managing distress. It combines acceptance and change strategies to help you build skills in four key areas: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, DBT offers concrete tools to create more balance and stability in your life.

DBT is backed by strong evidence for helping people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, or chronic relationship stress. It’s been shown to improve emotional stability, reduce distress, and enhance communication and coping skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you stop fighting difficult thoughts and feelings and start focusing on what truly matters to you. Instead of trying to “get rid of” anxiety or intrusive thoughts, ACT teaches you how to make space for discomfort while taking meaningful action in your life. Through mindfulness, values work, and skill-building, you'll learn how to shift from avoidance to acceptance—and live with greater flexibility and freedom.

ACT has been shown to be effective for anxiety, OCD, depression, and chronic stress. Research supports its ability to reduce emotional suffering while improving quality of life and psychological flexibility.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy for trauma, anxiety, and painful memories. It uses eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess stuck or distressing experiences so they feel less intense and disruptive. You won’t have to “relive” your trauma—we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, focusing on helping you feel more present and in control.

EMDR is a widely supported treatment for trauma and PTSD. Research shows that it helps the brain process distressing memories more adaptively, reducing emotional intensity and improving daily functioning.

The ComB Model (Comprehensive Behavioral Model) is an evidence-based approach to treating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like skin-picking or hair-pulling. Instead of focusing only on stopping the behavior, ComB explores the internal and external cues that drive it—like emotions, routines, or sensory experiences. Studies show that it helps clients reduce behaviors by identifying and addressing their unique triggers. Together, we’ll identify your unique patterns and develop tailored strategies to meet your underlying needs in healthier ways.

SPACE is a parent-based treatment designed to help children and teens who struggle with anxiety or OCD. Instead of placing pressure on the child to change, SPACE empowers parents to shift their responses in ways that reduce accommodation and build confidence. I’ll coach you through the process with warmth and structure, helping you support your child’s growth without power struggles or pressure.

SPACE is an evidence-based program that helps reduce child and teen anxiety by changing how parents respond to distress. Studies show it’s as effective as individual therapy for children, even though only the parents are in treatment.

Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) is a newer, specialized approach to treating OCD that focuses on how doubt takes hold in the mind. Rather than starting with exposure, I-CBT targets the “why” behind intrusive thoughts—helping you understand how imagination, mistrust of your senses, and faulty reasoning create obsessive doubt. This method teaches you to reconnect with your lived reality and let go of compulsive mental checks and stories.

I-CBT is a promising and research-supported treatment for OCD. It’s particularly effective for individuals who experience "pure-O" or mental compulsions, helping reduce obsessive doubt by targeting faulty reasoning at its root.
