Feeling Stuck in Your Head?

A young person with dark hair and a beard, wearing a black leather jacket and a watch, is gazing thoughtfully into the distance with their hand near their face, against a backdrop of cloudy sky and open landscape.

Your mind might feel like it’s spinning on a loop— replaying conversations, second-guessing choices, or pulling you into “What if?” stories that feel urgent and real. Each thought can weigh heavy, leaving you drained, disconnected, and unsure what to trust.

You may have tried therapy before and felt misunderstood, like the focus missed the doubt at the heart of what’s happening.

But you don’t have to stay stuck forever.

As an OCD specialist with lived experience, I know how consuming these spirals can feel. Together, we’ll help you reclaim clarity, rebuild trust in your mind, and reconnect with life— grounded, calm, and aligned with what matters to you.

How OCD and Anxiety Therapy Can Help You

A person with red hair and closed eyes standing among dark green bushes and orange flowers.

My approach is affirming, empowering, and grounded in both lived experience and evidence-based care. Using neurodivergent-affirming Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and ACT, I help you understand what’s actually happening in your mind— not what OCD or anxiety insists is true.

In our work together, you’ll learn to:

  • Stay grounded and move beyond “What if?” spirals

  • Rebuild self-trust and reconnect with your authentic self

  • Live from your values, instead of being ruled by fear

Therapy isn’t about just “thinking positive.” In I-CBT, we focus on how your mind gets pulled into feared possibilities, notice when imagination overrides your senses, and interrupt those patterns so you can reclaim confidence and self-trust.
