I specialise in trauma, eating disorders, and OCD, using CBT and EMDR.
You might feel stuck despite doing everything “right”. You may struggle with trauma, eating difficulties, intrusive thoughts, or a harsh inner critic that’s hard to switch off. Many of my clients are deep thinkers who feel responsible for everything and exhausted by it. You might look like you’re coping on the outside, while internally feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. I offer structured therapy and EMDR intensives to help you understand what’s keeping you stuck

There are moments when life feels tough — when stress, worry, or sudden changes leave us feeling unsettled or unsure. You might be navigating something you never expected or finding yourself in a place you didn’t choose. Even so, I believe people carry great strength and resilience, which might feel drained right now. It’s completely okay to feel like you’ve run out of steam. My role is to walk alongside you as we gently make sense of what’s been happening and reconnect with the strengths you already have. With the right support, small, meaningful shifts can spark BIG changes — helping you reach your goals and full potential.

If you’re feeling trapped by anxiety, OCD, or self-doubt, you’re not alone.
For OCD, I use ERP to help face fears safely and ACT to build tolerance to uncertainty—so intrusive thoughts lose their power. If you struggle with perfectionism or self-doubt, you’re not alone. These patterns often stem from deep-rooted experiences. Through inner child work, we’ll heal past wounds, rebuild confidence, and create a healthier version of you.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
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.
