Living with OCD can be exhausting. Let's tackle this together.
OCD is far more than being organized or liking things a certain way. It often shows up as relentless doubt, intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, reassurance seeking, avoidance, mental rituals, or feeling trapped in a cycle that seems impossible to escape.
Whether your OCD centers around contamination, harm, relationships, health, morality, sexuality, or uncertainty itself — you deserve treatment that is compassionate, individualized, and grounded in research.
My goal isn't to eliminate uncertainty. It is to help you build confidence in your ability to tolerate it.
I work with children, teens, and adults, tailoring treatment to each person's developmental stage, strengths, goals, and OCD presentation. I believe effective OCD treatment is collaborative. Therapy is not about forcing you into uncomfortable situations. It is about helping you gradually face fears with support, build confidence, and reclaim the parts of life OCD has taken from you.
No two people experience OCD the same way. Treatment is always tailored to you.
Fear of germs, illness, chemicals, or "contaminated" people or objects leading to excessive washing or avoidance.
Unwanted intrusive thoughts about accidentally or intentionally causing harm to yourself or others.
Constant doubt about your relationship, your partner, or your own feelings — driving reassurance-seeking and checking.
Persistent fear about illness, medical symptoms, or your body — despite reassurance from doctors.
Excessive guilt, scrupulosity, or fear of sin, blasphemy, or moral wrongdoing.
Intrusive thoughts about harm coming to your baby, paired with compulsive rituals to neutralize the anxiety.
