online OCD, Trauma, and Eating Disorder Therapy in california and UTAH — from the comfort of your home

CBT is a well-researched, evidence-based approach often used to support people struggling with anxiety, OCD, trauma-related concerns, eating disorders, and other patterns that feel hard to change. At its core, CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, body experiences (your “felt sense”), and behaviors. When one part of that cycle shifts — such as learning to relate differently to unhelpful thoughts or experimenting with new behaviors — it can lead to meaningful changes in how you feel and respond.

In therapy, we’ll work together to identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and build practical, collaborative tools to help you move forward with greater clarity, flexibility, and self-trust.

ERP is a highly effective, well-researched treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and it is also used to support related patterns such as compulsive behaviors, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, perfectionism, and anxiety-driven coping strategies. It helps you gradually face feared thoughts, sensations, or situations while practicing resisting the urge to engage in compulsions, reassurance seeking, or avoidance.

Over time, this process supports your brain in learning that uncertainty and distress are tolerable, and that anxiety naturally rises and falls without needing to rely on rituals or safety behaviors. It also helps build confidence in your ability to respond differently to uncomfortable thoughts, urges, or emotions.

In therapy, I will guide you step-by-step, tailoring exposures to your values, goals, and readiness — never pushing you into anything before you feel prepared. ERP is collaborative, paced, and designed to support a sense of agency throughout the process.

Research consistently shows ERP is one of the most effective treatments for OCD, often leading to significant and lasting reductions in compulsions, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety-related distress.

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is especially helpful for people who experience intense emotions, emotional overwhelm or shutdown, difficulties with tolerating stress, or challenges in relationships and communication. It combines acceptance and change strategies to help you build skills in four key areas: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Whether you feel emotionally flooded, numb or disconnected, or stuck in patterns that feel hard to shift, DBT offers practical, skills-based tools to create more balance, stability, and self-understanding in daily life.

DBT is strongly supported by research for helping people who struggle with intense emotions, compulsive or impulsive behaviors, self-criticism, and chronic relationship stress. It has been shown to improve emotional stability, strengthen coping skills, and support more effective communication and distress management over time.

EMDR is a powerful therapy for trauma, anxiety, and painful memories. It uses eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess stuck or distressing experiences so they feel less intense and disruptive. You won’t have to “relive” your trauma — we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, focusing on helping you feel more present and in control.

EMDR is a widely supported treatment for trauma and PTSD. Research shows that it helps the brain process distressing memories more adaptively, reducing emotional intensity and improving daily functioning.

The ComBs Model is an evidence-based approach to treating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like skin-picking or hair-pulling. Instead of focusing only on stopping the behavior, ComB explores the internal and external cues that drive it — like emotions, routines, or sensory experiences. Studies show that it helps clients reduce behaviors by identifying and addressing their unique triggers. Together, we’ll identify your unique patterns and develop tailored strategies to meet your underlying needs in healthier ways.

I-CBT is a newer, specialized approach to treating OCD that focuses on how doubt takes hold in the mind. Rather than starting with exposure, I-CBT targets the “why” behind intrusive thoughts—helping you understand how imagination, mistrust of your senses, and faulty reasoning create obsessive doubt. This method teaches you to reconnect with your lived reality and let go of compulsive mental checks and stories.

I-CBT is a promising and research-supported treatment for OCD. It’s particularly effective for individuals who experience "pure-O" or mental compulsions, helping reduce obsessive doubt by targeting faulty reasoning at its root.
