OCD can latch onto almost anything, contamination, harm, relationships, morality, or health, and it can feel lonely and hard to explain to the people around you.
You are not your thoughts, and you are not broken. Together we make sense of how the OCD cycle keeps itself going, and build practical tools to respond to the thoughts and urges differently so they lose their grip. Using CBT and ACT, we loosen the pull of certainty-seeking and compulsions, and make room for you to live by what actually matters to you.

Has pornography or a sexual behaviour started to take up more space in your life than you ever meant it to? Maybe you have tried to stop on your own, promised yourself that last time was the last time, and felt the shame grow heavier each time the pattern came back. You are not broken, and you are not alone. Compulsive sexual behaviour is rarely about willpower. More often it is a way of coping with stress, loneliness, anxiety, or old pain that never had a safe place to go. I help adults who are quietly struggling with this find relief and a way forward that lasts.

How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
