Counselling for Anxiety, OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

When your mind won't let you rest

Everyone feels anxious at times, but overwhelming anxiety can get in the way of daily life. Maybe it shows up as constant worry that hums beneath everything. Maybe it's intrusive thoughts that feel sticky, shameful, or scary — thoughts you'd never say out loud. Maybe it's rituals and checking that eat your time, or sudden waves of panic that arrive out of nowhere.

Here's what I want you to know: your brain is not broken, and you are not your thoughts. Anxiety and OCD are treatable — and the treatment doesn't have to be cold or clinical.

A specialized approach, held with kindness

I am trained in the gold-standard, evidence-based treatments for anxiety and OCD:

✧Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the standard treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, learned through the International OCD Foundation Training Institute and CBT School, with advanced OCD training through the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI), December 10–14, 2026. Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 training, completing December 6, 2026

✧Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — for understanding and unhooking from anxious thought patterns

✧Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — for taking meaningful action in your life even while fear is present

What makes my approach different is how this clinical work is held: within mindfulness and self-compassion. As a qualified MBSR teacher with over a decade of meditation practice, I can help you become aware of repetitive, intrusive thoughts and build an entirely new relationship with your anxiety — one with more curiosity, more choice, and far less shame.

Together, we can help you take difficult but meaningful actions, face your fears, and ultimately live with more ease and freedom.
