About the speciality

About the speciality

Everyone experiences anxiety; it's part of being human. The problem begins when internal alarms sound without reason, often because the brain treats uncertainty as a threat and jumps to the worst case. Using proven approaches like CBT, ACT, and exposure therapy, I help teens and adults respond more flexibly to fear, drawing on the same shared mechanisms that explain why CBT works across so many different conditions. I also help people drop the habits that quietly keep anxiety going, such as telling yourself others have it worse. When the anxious person is a child who will not come in, coaching parents through the SPACE model can work as well as individual therapy.
