Before you can even grab your morning coffee, the intrusive thoughts have already shown up. The “What if…?” questions feel endless, pulling you into mental loops you never wanted to enter. Compulsions - mental or physical - start stacking up before the day even begins. You see other people living their lives with ease and connection, and you want that too. I hear you. And you deserve relief. I’m an OCD and anxiety specialist who works with teens and adults to break free from the cycle of doubt, fear, and compulsions - reassurance seeking, mental checking, avoidance, physical rituals, and everything in between.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment (ERP, I-CBT, ACT) and a deep understanding of how OCD actually shows up in real life. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and supported. I’m a warm and deeply empathetic therapist, and I prioritize building a strong connection where you feel free to be yourself without judgment.
Together, we’ll help you stop engaging with the “What if…?” thoughts and start moving toward a life guided by your values—not your fears. Recovery is absolutely possible, and you don’t have to figure this out alone. You can feel grounded, connected, and in control again. Let’s get you there.
