Do intrusive thoughts get stuck in your mind and feel impossible to shake? Thoughts like, “What if I have cancer?”, “What if I don’t actually love my spouse?”, or "What if I hit someone with my car and didn't notice?" These thoughts can feel so threatening that you may end up spending hours googling symptoms, checking things repeatedly, replaying conversations, or seeking reassurance, but the relief never lasts. It can be exhausting, confusing, and scary to live this way. You’re not alone, and effective treatment is available.
I specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. I work with many forms of OCD, including relationship OCD, contamination OCD, harm OCD, and health OCD. ERP helps retrain your brain so that intrusive thoughts become less frightening and less controlling over time.
Clients often feel relieved to finally talk openly about thoughts they've never shared with anyone. I would describe my therapy style as warm, collaborative, active, and nonjudgmental. I also believe humor can be a powerful part of recovery. If this sounds like a good fit for you, feel free to reach out for a free consultation!

I work with clients who feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or difficulty sleeping. During our initial sessions, we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and create an evidence-based plan using CBT or ERP. Most clients begin to notice improvement within a few months, though the timeline can vary depending on their needs.

I use evidence-based treatments like ERP, CBT, and ACT in my work. Therapy with me is collaborative and active. We'll identify what's keeping you stuck, review cognitive and behavioral tools together in session, and you'll practice them between sessions to shift patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is to help you build a life that feels more meaningful, and aligned with your values.
