As somebody who has lived with OCD and severe anxiety for over two decades, I’m here to relate to you and offer tools for living better with your thoughts and feelings and growing in not knowing. Consider me a resource for helping your own recovery feel possible, sustainable and even enriching. I use mindfulness-based methods as well as techniques drawn from Ayurveda, the ancient healing system from India. We resource the energy within you, in nature, and even in your kitchen to help support you in your recovery from OCD and anxiety. I’m not a doctor or mental health professional, and our work together is not meant to replace traditional medicine. Rather, it seeks to integrate the two, taking a uniquely individualized approach in helping you build your brain and nurture your system, empowering you to build a peaceful life.
Issues I’ve encountered in my own recovery is Western medicine’s failure to consider my unique constitution and context, touch the roots of my disorder, make connections, or offer sustainable solutions and ongoing support. In reality, there’s no diet or combination of medications and supplements that will work for everybody with a certain disorder at all times, and there are no quick fixes. If your house has had a shaky foundation for years, and the windows and doors keep getting stuck closed or open, quickly fixing the windows and doors isn’t really taking care of the problem, is it? I’ve also found that OCD in particular is largely misunderstood and that appropriate treatment isn’t readily available.
My sessions are meant to offer specialized support and guidance to those suffering from OCD and severe anxiety. We start our work together by assessing your unique constitution and building a solid foundation from which to grow. Whether you haven’t had success with traditional therapy, or you’re looking to sustain your recovery, I’m here for you. In our work together, you’ll learn to implement customized strategies to steadily build the life you want on more solid ground. Book your free consultation today!
