Treatment Approaches
Evidence-Based Therapies That Create Change
01
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented approach focused on the interactions between your thoughts, emotions and responses. The goal of CBT is to challenge unhelpful thinking to build a more healthy, flexible and adaptable way of coping with life.
03
Inference-based CBT (I-CBT) is a cognitive approach to treating OCD. Instead of focusing on reducing compulsive behaviors, we will work to resolve the thinking process that causes OCD in the first place.
05
Metacognitive Therapy
Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the beliefs you hold about your thoughts. MCT teaches you to develop a new relationship with your thinking—reducing worry, rumination, and anxiety.
02
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It involves exposing yourself to the situations, thoughts and activities that you have been avoiding, building your tolerance for uncertainty and learning not to buy into intrusive thougths and fears.
04
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control your behavior. Instead of trying to get rid of anxiety, ACT teaches you to take meaningful steps toward the life you want.
06
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. With SPACE, only parents attend therapy and the treatment is focused on the ways parents and increase support and reduce accommodation of their child's anxiety.
Why Work With an OCD and Anxiety Specialist?​
The Difference Between General and Specialized Therapy
Most therapists offer support for anxiety but treating OCD and related anxiety disorders effectively requires more than general talk therapy. OCD, in particular, needs a structured, specialized approach like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which isn’t part of standard therapy training. If you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t see results, it may be because the right tools weren’t being used.
My Training and Approach
As a therapist specializing in OCD therapy in San Jose, I’ve completed advanced training in ERP, CBT, and related modalities like Inference-Based CBT and Metacognitive Therapy. These methods are evidence-based and designed specifically to help you break free from the cycle of avoidance, compulsions, and intrusive thoughts.
What This Means for You
When you work with a specialist, you’re not just talking—you’re learning the strategies that research shows are most effective. Whether you're seeking CBT therapy near you in the San Jose area or virtual support across California, I offer active, structured, and compassionate treatment that gets to the root of what’s keeping you stuck.
