Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or the compulsion to repeat certain behaviours? I offer a safe space where you can share your thoughts and emotions openly and without judgment. We will build on your areas of strength and resiliency, while acquiring new skills that can help you cope more successfully. I am excited to embark on this journey together, as we all have the potential to reach our goals when given the right tools and support.
I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help treat symptoms of OCD. CBT based therapy will teach you how to better understand your obsessions and your compulsions so you can work to interrupt the cycle. Exposure therapy can help you learn how to better cope with uncertainty and to evaluate the reality of your worries and fears. This form of therapy is structured and will require your participation outside of session in order to achieve the greatest benefits from our time together.
For OCD, I utilize a cognitive-behaviour therapy approach. More specifically, gradual exposure occur in order to challenge the specific thoughts and behaviours being experienced.
OCD is an extreme form of anxiety consisting of obssessive thoughts or ritual like behaviours. Not always but often, clients have had trauma in their life that has caused OCD.
