My Approach to Helping
I provide cognitive behavioral therapy for people experiencing anxiety, panic, OCD, and trichotillomania (hair pulling). This type of therapy can be very effective in helping people with the symptoms resulting from these disorders.
I am a compassionate listener who helps people with these issues become self-assured, cope better and enjoy a better quality of life.
In therapy you can learn how to change thoughts and behaviors that lead to having distressing feelings and symptoms. This will help you feel more in control of your feelings and your life.
As you start to feel better, you will be inspired to defeat your problems, and take charge of your life. With new tools at your disposal, you'll be able to deal with future signs of returning symptoms.
I strive to provide help for these problems in an atmosphere that is active, warm, and nonjudgmental. Treatment is individualized, and goals are mutually established. Feedback is given frequently. We can work together to find solutions to your problems. I see myself as your compassionate, professional ally to achieving your goals. Therapy is always confidential. Everyone is unique, and we will structure treatment for your specific needs.
I have been to numerous trainings using cognitive behavioral therapy to learn to help people experiencing anxiety. I participated in intensive training to treat people with obsessive compulsive disorder using Exposure and Response Prevention by the OCD Foundation. In addition, I was trained by the Trichotillomania Learning Center to help people with trichotillomania using both Comprehensive Behavioral Model and Habit Reversal Training.
