You deserve compassion.  Compassion is when one recognizes the struggles of another and desires to help. It comes from a place of validation and care. When most of us talk about a provider having a good "bedside manner" what we are really saying is that the person was compassionate towards us. A therapist who embodies this perspective listens non-judgmentally with kindness and respect. If you are looking for an approach that is heart-centered AND scientifically-based, then look no further. My practice provides evidence-based cognitive and behavioral approaches for adults 18 and up who may be suffering from social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and/or obsessive compulsive disorder. Additionally, I enjoy working with young adults who are navigating new challenges in their life, including college, a new career, or starting a family.
