My approach
I am a behavioral therapist. That means I am interested in what you do, not just what you think or feel, because behavior is usually what's maintaining the problem. CBT is effective not because it's sophisticated but because it's honest: it asks you to test your beliefs against reality rather than just reasoning your way through them. I work with anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, and depression, and I'm particularly interested in the relationship between self-efficacy and behavior change: the question of what makes people actually believe they can do something differently.
What my sessions look like
Sessions are structured. We set an agenda, work through it, and you leave with something concrete to try before we meet again. That doesn't mean cold or clinical. It means we use the time well. I'm direct about what I observe and what I think is maintaining your patterns, and I expect you to push back if I'm wrong. The work happens between sessions at least as much as in them. If you want a therapist who gives homework, I'm your person.
