OCD is predictably unpredictable. You know it's going to be there, you just never know what it's going to choose that day. It attacks the things you care about most and tells you who you are as a person, rather than you telling OCD who you are. It is a give and give relationship. There is no give and take. If you've tried therapy before and it didn't click, the first thing I usually ask is: did you feel like your therapist actually understood you? Because that gap, between surface-level support and someone who knows what OCD really does to a person, is usually where things fell apart.
My approach is warm, direct, and judgment-free, with some humor and none of the kind that minimizes what you're going through. We use ERP, ACT, CBT, and ICBT. The work is active and skill-based. Mindset going into exposures matters as much as doing them. No scripts, no power dynamics, just two people doing real work together.
I have 13+ years specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders, and I live with panic disorder and GAD myself. Not as a resolved chapter, but as something I actively manage. That's not a selling point, it's just true. If you've read this far and something clicked, let's connect. No pressure, no homework.

OCD, panic disorder, phobias, and emetophobia. These show up differently in everyone, but the through line is the same: your brain is wearing a life vest on dry land. Working overtime to protect you from something that doesn't need that level of protection. That's exactly what we work on changing.

ERP is the gold standard for OCD and anxiety, but mindset going in changes everything. We're not white-knuckling through exposures. We're approaching them with intention: "I'm doing this because it moves me toward my goals," not "I'm doing this because I'm scared." That shift is the whole game.
