Teen Therapy for OCD and Anxiety in Washington State
Individual services for adolescents, ages 12+
I help teens build practical skills to manage OCD, anxiety, and related challenges using evidence-based, research-backed tools. As a specialist in OCD and Anxiety, I tailor therapy to each teen’s learning style while using trusted methods proven to reduce symptoms and create lasting change.
​
Some of the core approaches I use include:
​
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps teens recognize the patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques: Build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and self-awareness
-
Mindfulness-based strategies: Develop present-moment focus, self-compassion, and resilience
-
Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT): Targets the obsessive doubt at the heart of OCD, helping teens challenge distorted fears and rebuild trust in their senses
-
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): A gold-standard approach for OCD and anxiety that helps teens gradually face their fears and break free from compulsions
​
Every teen is different, and therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I work to create a supportive space where teens feel heard, respected, and empowered to take back control from anxiety and OCD.
