ANXIETy
Get out of survival mode and into the life you actually want.
Anxiety, in itself, isn’t the enemy. It’s your brain’s way of trying to protect you. But when your mind starts responding to everyday situations as if they’re dangerous, it can take over your life. You might start avoiding things you care about, doubting yourself constantly, or trying to control everything just to feel safe.
You have a picture in your mind of how you wish life felt—calm, confident, connected. But anxiety keeps pulling you off track.
You might find yourself:
Obsessing over things you can’t control
Avoiding decisions or actions that matter
Distracting yourself with work, scrolling, food, or substances
Feeling physically tense, overwhelmed, or on edge 24/7
Questioning your worth or your ability to change
It’s exhausting to live in constant fight-or-flight. But with the right support, you can break that cycle.
I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model—along with trauma-informed and somatic strategies—to help you reconnect with yourself, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and take clear steps toward the life you want. You’ll learn concrete tools to manage anxiety, calm your nervous system, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.

Anxiety therapy that gets at the root
You may have tried to “calm down” or “think positively,” but anxiety doesn’t work that way. What actually helps? Understanding what drives your anxiety and learning how to respond to it differently.
Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mind-body tools, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs—whether your anxiety is around:
Social situations
Health worries
Sleep, overthinking, or panic
Feeling stuck
Burnout
Do anxiety and OCD go together?
While GAD is distinct from OCD, both disorders share anxiety as a central feature. Individuals with OCD experience specific, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsion) and fears around imagined possibilities). In contrast, GAD involves more generalized and diffuse worry around real life situations without the specific obsessions and compulsions seen in OCD.
If you’re struggling with GAD or OCD and looking for support, working with an OCD and anxiety therapist can be beneficial. Whether through in-person sessions or online therapy, a specialized therapist can help address both generalized anxiety and OCD symptoms. Finding a therapist for OCD and anxiety near you can provide targeted treatment. For the best results, seek out a therapist who offers OCD and anxiety counseling and understands the nuances of both conditions.
What Anxiety Therapy Looks Like
In sessions, you’ll learn to:
Identify anxiety triggers and patterns
Use CBT-based strategies and anxiety therapy exercises
Work through past trauma that may be fueling your symptoms
Practice nervous system regulation
Build confidence in daily situations (including driving and social events)
I also offer CBT anxiety worksheets and tools to help you practice between sessions.
Together, we can:
Examine and challenge worrying thinking
Learn coping skills to manage symptoms
Build your tolerance to anxiety and stress
Calm your monkey mind through mindfulness techniques
Have a better relationship with food and your body
Set boundaries and learn assertive communication strategies
Let go of perfectionism & self-sabotage
Become comfortable with vulnerability and feeling your feelings
Reframe negative judgmental self-talk
Change unhelpful thinking patterns
Learn to embrace and accept uncertainty

Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD):
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for GAD. It helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments can reduce excessive worry and improve coping strategies.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting anxiety as a part of life rather than trying to eliminate it. It encourages mindfulness and helps individuals align their actions with their values, even in the presence of anxiety.
Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD):
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP therapy is a specific type of CBT that is particularly effective for OCD. It involves gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or thoughts and helping them resist performing compulsive behaviors. This approach helps reduce the power of obsessions over time.
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT): I-CBT addresses the underlying inferential confusion in OCD, targeting the obsessive doubts that lead to compulsions. It focuses on resolving these doubts through cognitive techniques and does not necessarily require exposure exercises. Read my full article about I-CBT vs ERP for OCD treatment.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT can also be useful for OCD by helping individuals accept their intrusive thoughts without acting on them, and instead focusing on living a values-driven life.
Ultimately, the best therapy for OCD and anxiety depends on various factors, including personal preferences, the severity of symptoms, and previous anxiety and OCD treatment experiences.

Managing anxiety related to OCD requires a mix of strategies to alleviate symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is effective as it gradually exposes you to your fears while helping to lessen compulsive behaviors. Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) aims to address obsessional doubts and help you stay grounded in reality. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages mindfulness and living according to your values, which can lessen the effects of anxiety. Additionally, incorporating healthy lifestyle choices, stress management techniques, and support from professionals, support groups, and loved ones can significantly boost your overall well-being. By combining these methods, you can better manage OCD-related anxiety and enhance your quality of life.
-
Several factors can contribute to the worsening of anxiety and OCD symptoms. High levels of stress from work, relationships, or life changes can intensify these conditions. Additionally, avoidance of triggering situations may reinforce fears, making symptoms more severe over time. Not seeking or adhering to effective treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), can also lead to a deterioration in symptoms.
Unresolved trauma plays a significant role, as past experiences can heighten emotional vulnerability and increase anxiety. Cognitive distortions, or negative thinking patterns, perpetuate anxiety and OCD, making it challenging to break free from compulsive behaviors. Substance abuse often exacerbates these issues, further interfering with anxiety and OCD treatment.
Poor sleep quality can heighten anxiety and worsen OCD symptoms, while feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities can trigger or amplify these feelings. Perfectionism, characterized by high standards and compulsive tendencies, can increase anxiety levels. Lastly, a lack of support or feeling isolated can make managing anxiety and OCD even more difficult.
-
Overthinking can be a symptom of both OCD and anxiety, but the underlying mechanisms and experiences differ between the two.
OCD: In OCD, overthinking typically involves persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that cause significant distress. The individual may engage in repetitive mental or physical actions (compulsions) to try to reduce the anxiety associated with these obsessions. Overthinking in OCD is often driven by a need to alleviate uncertainty and prevent perceived threats, leading to compulsive behaviors.
Anxiety: In general anxiety, overthinking is characterized by excessive worry about various aspects of life, including future events, decisions, or everyday situations. This constant rumination is driven by a fear of potential negative outcomes and can lead to chronic stress and anxiety. The focus is on the anxiety-provoking aspects of life rather than specific obsessions or compulsions.
