You are constantly afraid, worried that the next anxious feeling, intrusive thought, or panic attack is just around the corner. You might be stuck in cycles of rumination, racing heart rate, or trying to "figure it all out." To avoid triggering these feelings, you may have begun to pull away from places, people, or activities you once loved. You feel exhausted from always monitoring yourself, and yet restless—afraid of losing control.

With in-person sessions in Santa Barbara or virtual therapy options tailored to your unique needs, you will learn how these responses are protective systems that have gone into overdrive. Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) is the "Gold Standard" for treating OCD & anxiety related disorders which involves gradual, supported exposure so you can expand your choices. We also provide Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) which focuses on identifying the underlying thoughts/beliefs that keep you stuck. You will return to the life you desire, and come to understand: no matter the moment or the symptom, you are the coping skill.
