Therapy for OCD and anxiety disorders
How would your life be different if OCD and anxiety didn't take up so much space?
Together, we practice new ways of responding so you can get unstuck and move toward what matters.
You can't think your way out.
You manage. You get through the day. And it's exhausting.
The thoughts won't stop
You try to solve them, but they keep coming back.
Relief that never lasts
Checking, asking, replaying. Relief for a moment, and then the cycle starts again.
Your world keeps shrinking
You find yourself saying no to places, conversations, and opportunities that matter to you—just to avoid the discomfort.
Never good enough
You raise the bar, you reach it, and it moves again.
Panic out of nowhere
And now you're anxious about being anxious.
Socializing feels exhausting
Being so focused on what to say and what others are thinking of you makes it hard to be present and connect.
Nothing is broken in you. The strategy stopped working.
We start where you are.
Focused work.
I work with adults 18+, online across Pennsylvania, in English and Spanish.
OCD
Intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, and mental rituals that keep you caught in a cycle of doubt.
Generalized anxiety
Chronic worry, tension, and your mind going to worst-case scenarios by default.
Panic
Panic attacks, fear of the sensations themselves, and the avoidance that grows around them.
Social anxiety
Fear of judgment, post-conversation replaying, and second-guessing how you came across.
Perfectionism & self-criticism
You’re never quite satisfied. Even when you do your best, it doesn’t feel good enough.
Uncertainty & overcontrol
The need to get it right, feel certain, or prevent every possible outcome.
Practical, compassionate, and paced by you.
We identify what matters to you, map out the patterns that keep you stuck, then practice responding differently when difficult emotions and thoughts come up. Drawing from evidence-based approaches like ACT, ERP, and DBT, you’ll build tools you can keep using after therapy ends.
Map the pattern
We look at what you're experiencing, how you've been coping, and what happens when anxiety or discomfort shows up. Together, we connect the dots between your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and triggers, giving us a clearer picture of where to focus our work.
Build new skills
We practice tools for handling difficult thoughts and feelings. Depending on what you're working on, this might include gradually approaching situations you've been avoiding, making room for uncomfortable emotions, and learning to respond differently when discomfort shows up.
Take it into your life
We bring what you practice in therapy into your everyday life. Together, we work toward greater flexibility and freedom, so you can make choices based on what matters to you rather than staying stuck in old patterns.
Hi, I'm Nadia.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders. My approach is practical, compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
In therapy, we'll work on building the skills and confidence to live with greater freedom and intention.
I've worked as a clinician since 2012 with people across different stages of life and with a wide range of mental health concerns. Today, my clinical work is focused on OCD and anxiety disorders. I hold bachelor's and master's degrees in Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, and my clinical training includes ACT, DBT, and ERP, including specialized ERP training through the International OCD Foundation's Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI).
FAQs
Do you see clients in person?
No. I provide therapy exclusively online to adults across Pennsylvania.
Do you work in Spanish?
Yes. I offer full sessions in Spanish or English, whichever language you actually feel in.
What is ERP?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based treatment for OCD that involves gradually facing feared thoughts, situations, or sensations while practicing new ways of responding instead of relying on compulsions or other behaviors that keep the cycle going.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on what you're working on and what you hope to get from therapy. Some focused ERP work may be relatively time-limited, while other concerns may benefit from longer-term support.The goal is to help you build skills you can continue using on your own. Periodic follow-up sessions can also be an option after focused treatment.

I accept some insurance plans, including Aetna, Highmark, Independence Blue Cross, and the Allied Trades Assistance Program (ATAP).
