You’re not alone.

As a trained specialist in ERP for OCD (Exposure and Response Prevention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) I have extensive experience working with clients who have lived with anxiety, phobias, and hyperarosual related symptoms. I would love to hear how you picture your life with the tools and resources to live life authentically.

Anxiety and OCD can make us feel like we don’t know ourselves and skew our self-perception in relationships, our career, as a parent, or as a friend.

OCD feels like an incessant incompleteness, like we’re trapped in uncertainty, questioning ourselves, our environment, and the people around us less and less.

Intrusive thoughts demand we find certainty and completeness in a world where this doesn’t exist, the places responsibility on us to do this, in a world that already places inappropriate levels of responsibility on us.

Compulsive behaviors like ruminating, or thinking our way through an unanswerable question make us feel momentary relief then more and more uncertainty and urgency.

My experience working with anxiety and OCD, combined with my training in ACT and ERP has given me the approach and tools as a therapist to help clients navigate their internal dialogue, feelings, and relationships to build meaningful and authentic approaches to reduce the deeply painful and isolating experience of OCD and anxiety.

My job as a therapist working with anxiety and OCD is to help clients differentiate between the two, find the behaviors or ways of thinking that maintain the experience of them, identify meaningful relationships and protective factors of their life, and use my area of expertise to provide evidence based approaches to working with , and adjusting my approach as needed, throughout sessions. If you feel like anxiety or OCD have kept you from feeling how you would love to feel in your life and in yourself, please reach out. You deserve to feel trust in yourself, compassion in your life, and free to exist just as you are.
