Living with OCD can feel exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to stay that way. I specialize in evidence-based treatment for OCD, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I work with individuals who are ready to challenge intrusive thoughts and break free from compulsions. My clients want relief, clarity, and a sense of control over their lives again. If you're motivated to do the work, I’m here to guide you with compassion, structure, and scientifically backed treatment designed to help you reclaim your time, energy, and peace of mind.
With over 10 years of clinical experience and expertise in the mental health field, I have come to discover my passion is working with individuals living with OCD. Our work together will be collaborative and individualized to support you not only in targeting the symptoms of OCD, but also building resilience and fostering self-compassion and acceptance.
OCD can be exhausting and time-consuming, but using evidence-based treatment is available and can be highly effective. If you're ready to make a change, I offer structured treatment to help you reduce symptoms and reclaim your life. Reaching out is the first step—treatment can work, and you're not alone in this.

Groups
WeOCD
WeOCD is a group therapy program blending Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Exposure and Response Prevention, tailored for individuals battling OCD. ACT fosters acceptance of obsessive thoughts without reacting compulsively. WeOCD emphasizes accepting uncomfortable feelings, committing to value-aligned actions despite intrusive thoughts, and nurturing a supportive community. Sessions include education, mindfulness exercises, experiential practices, and group discussions, all aimed at promoting learning, growth, and practical application. Facilitated by experienced clinicians, WeOCD is more than symptom management; it’s about living a full, meaningful life amidst OCD. Together, we navigate the complexities of OCD, fostering hope and resilience.
