Do you feel stuck in a loop of overthinking, constant "checking," or seeking reassurance to feel okay? Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts that make you worry you’re a bad person? Maybe you've already tried traditional talk therapy and found that talking endlessly about these issues only makes them worse. If so, I offer the gold standard treatment for OCD, an often misdiagnosed or overlooked issue: Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). ERP can empower you to overcome your fears without relying on compulsive behaviors that feed the loop, helping you to reclaim your reality from OCD.
I specialize in helping teens and adults navigate OCD, phobias, and chronic anxiety. As a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), I strive to create a trauma-informed space that prioritizes consent and safety, where our work is collaborative and proceeds at a client-centered pace.
If you're interested in discovering whether we'd be a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call. I look forward to hearing from you!
