I specialize in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD. This condition is highly treatable—but only with the right approach. That's why many people spend years in therapy without seeing results. With ERP, we won't just talk about OCD—we’ll actively work with it. Together, we’ll build a clear plan and use structured, targeted exposures to help you face fears, resist compulsions, and make real, measurable progress.
Not all therapists who list ERP use it regularly or with depth. Because ERP for OCD comprises 95% of my practice, I bring a high level of precision and consistency to this work. ERP can be challenging, but when applied correctly and consistently, it’s one of the most effective ways to break free from OCD.
In addition to specialized training, I bring firsthand experience with OCD and have undergone ERP myself. This helps me guide the process with both clinical rigor and a practical understanding of what the work actually feels like. If you're looking for evidence-based treatment for OCD, I’d be happy to connect and see if this approach is a good fit.
