Anxiety and OCD therapy for women in Wisconsin

You’re tired of feeling like your brain is on an endless loop of worst-case scenarios.

It’s like you can never just take a deep breath.

Maybe what used to feel like manageable worries have completely taken up all your mental space, or perhaps your brain feels like a dog with a bone when it comes to worst case scenarios. You may be starting to feel the physical effects of your anxiety or OCD, or simply have stopped taking risks entirely for fear of what could go wrong. Perhaps you’re feeling like this is just how you’ll have to live forever.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy can help.

It may feel impossible now, but you can live a full life again. You can quiet your brain. You can live with spontaneity and joy again. And I can help you get there.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help you quiet your brain and live contentedly in the here and now.

Anxiety therapy with me helps you do three things:

  • Identify your triggers and understand how your brain is functioning so that you’ve got a foolproof filter to handle those triggers, no matter where or when they show up

  • Learn tangible skills and ways of addressing these anxieties from a short-and-long-term perspective to give you both immediate relief and long-lasting success.

  • Develop a sense of compassion and peace within yourself so that you can stop the self-judgement and understand where and why these behaviors developed.

I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to anxiety and OCD therapy comes from a place of empowerment: believing that at some point, your brain learned to function this way in order to try and keep you safe, but it’s not serving you anymore. You can find confidence and trust within yourself again - I promise it’s there, just waiting to be unlocked.
