Evidence-Based Therapy for OCD, Anxiety, and Depression
You’re probably here because you’re over it.
The Ritualist
“I have to do it this exact way, or it won’t feel right.”
“I know it seems silly, but I can’t stop until it’s perfect.”
“I’ll just do it one more time… to be safe.”
The Overthinker
"Did I say something weird?"
“I need to plan for every possible outcome, just in case something goes wrong.”
“Should I send another text?”
The Avoider
"I'll deal with it tomorrow."
"Maybe it'll just go away."
"I'm not ready yet."
“I’ll do it when I feel less anxious.”
Sound familiar? Let’s change the pattern, not just talk about it.
Hi, I’m Maria, a licensed clinical psychologist, who helps teens and young adults (ages 13–40) struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, and many other challenges this life gives us. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ERP, and ACT, to focus on real-life strategies - not just talking about the problems, but learning how to respond to them differently.
The fact that you’re here means you’ve already taken a huge first step, I’d love to help you take the next one.
