Anxiety and OCD Specialist

Our minds are our biggest assets but they can also be a scary and overwhelming place. Does it seem like worry, stress, and anxiety have been running the show? Are you experiencing unwanted thoughts or consumed by needless or time-consuming rituals and compulsions? I wish you weren’t here looking for help, but I’m glad you found my practice. As a therapist and founder of Behavioral Health Direct my goal is to help you find relief and overcome your difficult thoughts and feelings. My clients are typically hard working and motivated professionals and students struggling with anxiety related issues and looking for clear goals and direction.

I’ll help you by starting with a solid understanding of your current issue and introducing some psychological ideas and concepts. I like to think of it as combining my skills and expertise with your knowledge of yourself and your experiences. I’ll then walk you through cognitive, behavioral, and emotional skills and exercises.

Therapy takes an enormous amount of courage and strength. It’s a journey of self discovery and can really empower you to get in touch with your true self and discover everything life has to offer. I look forward to being a part of that process. Give me a call or send an email today and I’ll get back to you quickly!
