I use a person-centered approach to OCD therapy. OCD doesn't define you. Together, we'll identify what it looks like in your day-to-day life, what triggers it, and how to tackle those triggers utilizing ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy. You're not doing this alone. You have me and an entire community supporting you. I have experience treating people in medication-assisted treatment for substance abuse. I've also worked with the college population on career issues, anxiety, depression, identity, time management, and grief.

Why our members love working with Anastasia
K.S.
Anastasia is wholeheartedly the best therapist I’ve had. She always listens to me and my concerns openly and judgment-free. I’ve never felt like I couldn’t tell her something. She remembers everything I’ve told her and what’s going on in my life and helps me through it all. I’ve made so much progress in just the short amount of time I’ve been seeing her.
H.C.
Anastasia is an excellent therapist. She is very informed, doesn’t make me feel odd or strange, and is able to engage with my humor which adds joy to the sessions. I always look forward to my sessions with her.
M.M.
Anastasia immediately makes me feel calm and welcome. She is so personable and friendly that it’s something I look forward to each meeting. I’m so glad I found her, she is saving me and brining me back to who I was before all of this.
K.F.
Anastasia has helped me understand and manage my trichotillomania in ways I didn’t think was possible. Anastasia took the time to understand my triggers and help me come up with solutions that work for my lifestyle. Using Habit Reversal Therapy I’ve been able to recognize my triggers and implement a competing response. I’ve already seen a decrease in my trichotillomania and it’s given me a lot of confidence to keep making progress. I look forward to my session each week because it’s a time to reflect on my progress, go over any new triggers or problems and set goals for the next week.
C.B.
I think fate made Anastasia my therapist. She is an amazing person and has truly helped me more than I can describe.
J.R.
She is amazing. Kind, supportive, but holds you accountable and pushes right beside you to get you to your next goal. She also remembers everything and I don’t have to revisit things
