OCD can feel limiting and time-consuming. Facing OCD can increase life satisfaction. We can use exposure therapy principles to help you break unhelpful cycles of behaviors that never fully do what they promise - bring peace. Learning to distinguish between obsessions and compulsions is an important first step, followed by building skills to be with discomfort (rather than driven to reduce discomfort) and take action toward meaningful life goals.
With a personalized approach, I offer strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and the underlying anxiety that accompanies them. Together, we'll explore your unique challenges, develop coping mechanisms, and work towards reclaiming control over your life.

We treat everything from General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), panic attacks, phobias, OCD, etc, each one requiring a trained eye to recognize in order to treat them properly. No matter what it is you're dealing with or how severe, we will help you take back the reins and gain control over your worry once more.
I have primarily been working with individuals with OCD for over 10 years. I use empirically supported treatments including exposure and response prevention and acceptance and commitment therapy to target the symptoms of OCD.
