Are unwanted intrusive thoughts controlling your life? Do you feel like your mind won’t turn off, constantly looping through “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios? Maybe you avoid places, people, or activities you once loved because they now trigger fear or discomfort. Perhaps you’re a new mom, overwhelmed by distressing thoughts about your baby, leaving you feeling isolated and ashamed. Or maybe you’re caught in a relentless cycle of worry and compulsive behaviors, feeling like no matter how much reassurance you seek or how much you think about it, it’s never enough. You’re not alone, and I am here to help.

I specialize in all forms of OCD, including Pure-O, perinatal/postpartum OCD, relationship issues and couples counseling. I have advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold standard for OCD treatment—this approach has research to back up the effectiveness and long term benefits.

Healing starts with one step, and I’m here to walk this path with you. You don’t have to keep living in fear—together, we can help you reclaim your life. Reach out today for your free phone consultation, and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
