I help adults break free from the anxiety spiral. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention to treat OCD, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety. I believe therapy should be practical, evidence-based, and even a little empowering.

The most honest and practical OCD book I know. Dr. Grayson does not sugarcoat it. And this is an edit that I am adding after the fact. I would like to check on the process. I think this works pretty well.
Between the World and Me
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
I love this book. Short and powerful.

The Count of Monte-Cristo: Volume 1
by Alexandre Alexandre Dumas
There’s nothing like revenge. It’s interesting that we keep looking for a cover on every edit. I like that.
