Anxiety and OCD Therapy for Adults Who Want Real, Lasting Change

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, often characterized by feelings of worry, fear, or unease about uncertain or challenging situations. It can manifest as physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating, as well as emotional distress.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition that causes unwanted, intrusive thoughts (compulsions) to relieve anxiety those thoughts create. You might know your thoughts are irrational, but they still feel incredibly real—and trying to make them stop often makes them worse.

Parenthood can be deeply meaningful—and also incredibly overwhelming. Many parents struggle with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, guilt, burnout, identity shifts, relationship stress, and the pressure to “do it right,” often while feeling isolated or unsupported. You may love your child deeply and still feel exhausted, irritable, or unlike yourself. I work with parents at all stages to navigate these challenges, helping them manage anxiety and overwhelm, build confidence, and feel more grounded and connected in their lives and relationships.

Phobias are intense, persistent fears of specific situations, objects, or experiences—such as flying, driving, medical procedures, vomiting, certain animals, or heights. While many people have fears, phobias go beyond discomfort. They can feel overwhelming, out of proportion to the actual risk, and hard to control. They are rooted in the brain’s threat system, which has learned to sound the alarm too quickly. The good news is that phobias are highly treatable. In therapy, we work together to help your nervous system relearn safety. Treatment is gradual, collaborative, and paced to feel manageable.
