Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Chicago, IL
I am Board Certified in clinical psychology with experience treating anxiety, OCD, depression, and problems in relationships.
One successful outcome of therapy is to make your life more meaningful and fulfilling. Usually, this means changing how we deal with difficulty, focusing our attention on what truly matters, and choosing different actions. I believe in using evidence-based approaches to treatment. Having worked with hundreds of clients over my career, I know that you can quickly improve your life with the right tools that help you build the necessary skills. If you are hesitant about an unending commitment to therapy but believe you can benefit from change, our work will be productive.

For OCD & Anxiety, I use a method of treatment known as Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP).
In addition to addressing general issues and stress, I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder ( OCD), Anxiety Disorders (including Social Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Specific Phobias/Fears, and Generalized Anxiety/Worry), and Hypochondriasis/Health Anxiety. By focusing on these few specialties I am able to provide effective treatment to help you better manage your moods, identify and change problematic thinking patterns, and stop self-destructive or unwanted behaviors--all of which can contribute to a greater sense of calm and self-confidence.

Our bodies are not the only parts of ourselves that need a tune up from time to time. The mind is a powerful tool that can benefit from support and encouragement. Whether it's a job change, loss, relational issues, living with physical pain or just day-to-day stress, a supportive ear can mean the difference between just getting through the day and living the life that you long for. I have experience working with many clients especially those with eating disorders, depression and anxiety disorders including OCD. For a quick response, please email instead of calling for questions or to set an appointment.

Do you find yourself trapped in cycles of rumination or anxiety? Do you go out of your way to avoid feeling sadness, grief, discomfort, or shame? Are you struggling to take steps forward? Are you where you wanted to be? As Mary Oliver said, "Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine." For most of us, life requires some amount of pain. Without help, our difficulties can feel unmanageable and all-consuming. My role is to hold compassionate space to sit beside you in discomfort, and when it's time, consider a new way forward.

Plus, we offer support between sessions through direct messaging and a community of peers with OCD, ensuring you never feel alone.
One of the most important aspects of therapy is the connection and relationship between the therapist and the client. I strive to create a partnership where both of us feel connected and heard. We'll get a little uncomfortable together because that's where most of the good work happens. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. Additionally, we have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

I work with children and teens facing a variety of emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges, including OCD, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism.
Parenting a child or teen who is struggling emotionally can be overwhelming and heartbreaking. Whether it’s anxiety, low self-esteem, or behavioral challenges, it’s natural to feel unsure of how to help. Many parents worry they’re running out of tools or don’t know where to start. As a Licensed Psychologist with specialized training from Harvard Medical School’s McLean Hospital, my goal is to work alongside you and your family to navigate these challenges. Together, we’ll build on your strengths to foster growth, resilience, and stronger connections.

I specialize in stress, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and people-pleasing.
On the outside you appear calm and steady, on the inside you feel tense and preoccupied, pushing aside your own needs to attend to the issue in front of you. You're high functioning, yet you hold yourself back from fully engaging with others and your own interests. Maybe you don’t even know what you enjoy because you’ve been so focused on prioritizing others. You find yourself going about your routines and trying to feel relief, but your current ways of operating are contributing to a build up of stress. Maybe you’ve limited your world, told yourself what you can and cannot do, and now you’re wondering how much you can change.
