exposure & response prevention

When the fear is strong enough, it can feel like it’s taking over our lives. Exposure and Respone Prevention (ERP) gradually exposes patients to the anxiety trigger to help them learn that their distressing thoughts are manageable and they are not in danger. This is the most effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

assertiveness/self-esteem

I specialize in issues related to people-pleasing and low self-esteem. Assertiveness is a key component to standing up for ourselves and making sure we can effectively articulate our needs to the people around us. Those who have trouble setting boundaries, being assertive at work, or need assistance maintaining healthy relationships can benefit from assertiveness training.

cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the gold-standard for anxiety treatment. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing them into healthier, more adaptive thoughts. As we know, our thoughts influence how we feel. During treatment, we’ll develop calming techniques, coping skills and promote positive self-talk. This technique is effective for a wide range of issues.

person-centered counseling

This approach allows you to act as an equal partner in your therapy. Non-directive and non-judgmental, your therapist meets you where you are. You’re treated as the expert in your own life, and you would have an active role in creating your goals and directing the course of therapy. This approach can be effective for individuals who enjoy setting self-directed goals.

career counseling

It can be difficult to decide which direction you want your career to take, especially during the pandemic. We would complete a career assessment, research optimal career paths and focus on your strengths to help you meet your goals.
