I specialize in helping people recover from OCD, complex, severe anxiety, and behavioural addictions. OCD and anxiety have an exceptionally strong evidence base behind them, and people who engage seriously tend to get meaningfully better when the right clinical approach is in place. I work with adults and adolescents across a range of presentations: OCD in its many forms, including contamination, harm, relationship, scrupulosity, existential, sensorimotor, and pure O, and anxiety disorders including GAD, panic disorder, health anxiety, social anxiety, and agoraphobia. Behavioural addictions include gambling, pornography, and gaming.

My primary approach is ERP, the gold-standard CBT therapy for OCD and many forms of anxiety. I also practice depth-oriented Psychodynamic Therapy and draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, where relevant. Whereas ERP is structured and directive, dynamic therapy is open and exploratory. The therapy approach we use depends on you and your goals.

Choosing a therapist is an important decision. Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of success. I encourage people to speak with a few practitioners before beginning. If you’d like to connect, please reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone or video consult.

I help clients with a wide range of problems, but specialize in two distinct areas: 1) treating OCD, obsessional concerns, and anxiety disorders utilizing exposure-based approaches, and 2) helping clients to address anxiety, depression, characterological, and relational problems from a psychodynamic perspective.
