OCD is more than just anxiety or overthinking—it follows a very specific cycle of obsessions and compulsions that needs targeted treatment. Traditional talk therapy or general CBT often focuses on managing thoughts or exploring their meaning, which can actually reinforce OCD patterns instead of helping you break them. As an OCD specialist based in Campbell, near San Jose, CA, I use evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD. It’s not just about talking, it’s about learning how to face fears, reduce compulsions, and get back to living your life.

Worry is a normal part of life, but when it becomes constant, overwhelming, and hard to control, it could be generalized anxiety. Traditional therapy may offer general support, but it often doesn’t address the specific ways anxiety operates beneath the surface. As a specialist based in Campbell, near San Jose, CA, I use evidence-based techniques to help you interrupt worry loops, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build lasting resilience. It's not just about coping—it’s about finding calm and confidence again.

The postpartum period can bring intense, unexpected thoughts and worries, especially for new parents experiencing OCD or anxiety. Well-meaning providers might dismiss or misunderstand these symptoms, which only adds to the fear. I specialize in helping postpartum clients in Campbell and the greater San Jose area navigate scary thoughts, guilt, and overwhelm using approaches like CBT, ERP and ACT. You’re not alone, and with the right support, you can feel like yourself again.

Body-focused repetitive behaviors like hair pulling and skin picking are more than just habits, they’re often ways of coping with stress, boredom, or uncomfortable emotions. And while traditional therapy may offer general support, it usually doesn’t address the specific patterns and urges behind BFRBs. In my Campbell-based practice near San Jose, I use evidence-based approaches like Habit Reversal Training (HRT) and ComB to help you understand your triggers and build healthier responses. Change is possible—and you don’t have to manage it alone.

When you’re constantly worried about your health, it can take a huge toll on your peace of mind. Googling symptoms, checking your body, or seeking reassurance might feel helpful in the moment, but they often make health anxiety worse. As a specialist near San Jose in Campbell, CA, I help clients understand these patterns and use structured, evidence-based methods to change them. You can learn to trust your body again—and stop feeling like something’s always wrong.

Perfectionism isn’t just about high standards. It often comes with constant pressure, fear of failure, and a harsh inner critic that makes it hard to feel good enough—no matter what you achieve. Traditional therapy may focus on stress or self-esteem, but perfectionism needs a more focused approach. In my Campbell-based practice near San Jose, I help clients understand the roots of perfectionism and build more flexible, self-compassionate ways of thinking and doing. You can still care deeply without burning out or getting stuck.

Panic attacks can feel terrifying—like something is seriously wrong, even when you’re physically safe. General therapy approaches often focus on managing stress, but panic disorder needs more targeted strategies. In my Campbell-based practice near San Jose, I help clients understand the panic cycle and use proven tools to break it. With the right support, panic doesn’t have to control your life—and it will get better.

If social situations feel overwhelming, awkward, or exhausting, even when nothing "bad" actually happens, you’re not alone. Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel high-stakes, and general therapy often misses the deeper fears driving it. I help clients in Campbell and the South Bay area work through social anxiety with targeted strategies that build confidence from the inside out. You don’t have to keep avoiding things, you can start showing up as your full self.

Body dysmorphic disorder goes far beyond normal appearance concerns. It can take over your thoughts, fuel compulsive behaviors like mirror checking or reassurance seeking, and make it hard to feel at peace in your own skin. General therapy often focuses on body image in a broad way, but BDD requires a more specialized approach. In my Campbell-based practice near San Jose, I use evidence-based treatments like CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) tailored specifically to BDD. With the right support, it is possible to feel more at ease and connected to yourself again.

When sleep becomes a nightly battle, it affects everything—mood, energy, focus, even your health. Medications or sleep hygiene tips can be temporary fixes, but they don’t address the root of chronic insomnia. In my practice near San Jose, CA, I offer CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia), a highly effective, non-medication approach that helps retrain your brain and body to sleep naturally again. Better sleep is possible, and I can help you get there.
