Intrusive thoughts, images, urges and behaviours alongside overwhelming anxiety can leave many people suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) wondering whether things will ever be different. You may have struggled for years with thoughts that you can't tell anyone about because they're so disturbing and culturally taboo (contamination, harm, relationship OCD, etc.) You might even wonder whether you have OCD at all, leading you to doubt yourself so severely that depression has also become part of your everyday.
I’m specialized in tailoring exposure and response prevention (ERP) for clients who are experiencing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) such as intrusive thoughts and images, avoidance, and compulsive/safety-seeking behaviours. While ERP is hard work, you don't have to do it alone. We'll work together to take your life back.
My approach is based on compassionate, direct communication. I help clients build awareness to drive positive individual change and agency in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship while acknowledging the systemic factors (society, family, culture) that impact us all. Ketamine-assisted-psychotherapy is available in-person only.
