In-Person OCD and Anxiety Therapy near San Jose, California
Personalized Cognitive Behavior Therapy Near You
If you’ve been searching for an in-person OCD or anxiety specialist near you in the San Jose area, you are in the right place.
I offer in-person treatment for anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder using evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatments for OCD and anxiety, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Inference-Based CBT.
Many people in the Campbell and greater San Jose area are looking for effective, in-person support to help manage symptoms of OCD, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, and generalized anxiety disorder.
My therapy sessions provide a structured, compassionate space where you can build practical skills, face fears gradually, and reduce the impact of anxiety and intrusive thoughts on your daily life.
Evidence-Based Treatment for Anxiety and OCD
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using gold-standard, evidence-based therapies.
My approach is active, collaborative, and designed to help you make lasting changes—not just talk about your problems.
CBT helps identify and shift the unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, worry, and compulsive behavior.
I-CBT is a newer, highly specialized approach for OCD that focuses on identifying and reversing the reasoning process behind intrusive doubts.
Metacognitive Therapy
MCT helps reduce worry and rumination by targeting the mental habits that keep anxiety going, like over-monitoring thoughts or trying to control them.
ERP is the most effective treatment for OCD, teaching you to face fears gradually while learning to resist compulsions and stop avoiding.
ACT teaches you to relate differently to anxious thoughts and feelings, so you can live a life guided by your values.
SPACE Parent Focused Treatment
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) is a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety and OCD.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
