Do upsetting thoughts, relentless “what ifs,” or perfectionistic, uncertainty-driven behaviors quietly drain your energy? OCD’s grip—crippling doubt, isolating rituals, and an ever-constricting need for safety, certainty, and ‘control’—can make life feel like an exhausting balancing act. You don’t have to navigate this alone. My practice offers specialized, highly tailored, evidence-based care for individuals ready to reclaim the time, energy, self-trust, and freedom that OCD has taken. If this resonates with you, reach out—we’ll create a treatment plan to help you step into a more fulfilling, vibrant, and aligned life!
OCD requires specialized care; I received my training at Harvard Medical School/Mass General Hospital. My approach blends Exposure (ERP) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you shift your relationship with intrusive thoughts and uncertainty, refocusing your precious energy on what matters—more joy, connection, and meaning in the present!
If you think you may have OCD, evidence-based care can greatly reduce—or even resolve—its impact on your life. I recognize the vulnerability and courage it takes to find a provider you trust, and I’m grateful every day for the privilege of working with my clients. You deserve an expansive, storied life—don’t let OCD keep you on hold for a moment longer!
