Introduction

ork with young adults and adults, often high-achieving, perfectionistic, and used to holding it all together, who are ready to stop letting anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD run the show. My clients are ambitious, thoughtful, and often excel by every outside measure, yet privately feel exhausted by relentless self-criticism, over-checking, reassurance-seeking, or the pressure to get everything right. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP). I believe understanding how your brain works — why it produces intrusive thoughts, why avoidance feels like relief but keeps anxiety alive, why perfectionism promises safety but delivers exhaustion — is the first step toward changing your relationship with your thoughts and feelings. From there, I give you concrete, practical tools to shift how you respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than just talking about them. A core belief that guides my work: you can live a full, meaningful life even with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. You don't have to wait until the anxiety disappears to start living. In fact, when you approach the things you fear instead of avoiding them, the fear itself goes down, and you gain something even more valuable: a felt sense of empowerment and proof that you can do hard things.
