Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Holliston, MA

Dear Reader, You deserve credit for taking this important step by searching for a provider who can support you on your journey of healing and growth. You might be anxious about making the right choice because you don’t want to waste your time and money. Know that I aim for my clients to experience therapy as a worthy investment. I am a licensed mental health counselor and former dietitian. I offer the perspective of someone who has lived, studied, and worked in two different countries, and who has served people from diverse backgrounds in various settings including inpatient, residential and outpatient care.

I am driven by directness and efficiency, and draw upon my humor, warmth, and ability to motivate. My approach is unencumbered by therapeutic conventions of insurance approval, clinical setting, and therapy tropes. I offer a novel approach to therapy for OCD, phobias, anxiety, autism functioning concerns, and weight management. We will meet in a location of your choice (home, office, etc) or remotely. I do not accept insurance, and only you will determine the visit frequency. Please inquire if you wish to utilize aspects of my expertise as a Certified Personal Trainer, and/or Registered Yoga Teacher (200-hr) to augment therapy.

I am a thoughtful, warm professional with a good sense of humor. My primary training is in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which I integrate with other treatment modalities. I work well with both children and adults, tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs of my clients. My aim is to provide a supportive atmosphere where clients can work towards their goals, while learning practical strategies and skills that offer relief.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who values individualized, person-centered psychotherapy where the therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for change, growth, and healing. I have worked with varying age groups across residential, in-home, and outpatient settings. I specialize in treating adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with OCD, substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and difficult life circumstances.

My clients are typically teens (15+), adults or seniors (65+) struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, and life transitions. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)- the gold standard treatment for OCD. In addition, I have experience and a special interest in working with individuals or their loved ones as they navigate significant illness, grief/loss or other issues stemming from receiving complex medical care. I believe that as the patient, you are in the drivers’ seat, and I am helping you read the map. There are multiple routes we can take, and together we will find the best one for you.

I provide evidence-based treatments for adults with OCD, perinatal OCD, and anxiety disorders. Having OCD makes it hard to be present in your life. You may be having anxious thoughts about contamination, the health of your baby, or something bad happening to someone you care about. You may be having scary, intrusive thoughts that don’t make sense and feel like the opposite of who you are. You find yourself repeating behaviors or reviewing situations in your mind to alleviate anxiety, but the thoughts and anxiety always return.

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health that integrates the mind and body to foster healing, growth, and resilience. I have extensive experience working with children and adults. My practice is rooted in evidence-based techniques and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety-related disorders using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a highly effective form of therapy that empowers clients to confront their fears and break free from the cycle of anxiety. I also integrate mindfulness, somatic, and self-care strategies to support client's holistic well-being.

My style is warm, supportive, active, and down to earth with a sense of humor and creativity, which I think comes with working with a mix of kids, teens, and adults. My approach is to collaborate with you on developing skills and strategies to cope more effectively, as well as understand underlying patterns and past events that contribute to your current situation. We all struggle to see our strengths, at times, and therapy is a place to embrace those strengths and utilize them to balance out the unique challenges we face.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatments for mood, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive spectrum, and related disorders. I aim to help you build a meaningful life while tackling the tough emotions that come with it. Whether engaging in long-term or short-term therapy, I meet clients where they are, tailoring my approach to their unique needs using primarily Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My approach is centered on the client, providing validation, nonjudgmental support, and tangible tools for personal growth.

Do you have intrusive thoughts that become distracting and disrupt your day? Do you feel compelled to perform certain acts or rituals to alleviate your anxiety? Have you experienced a traumatic event that still haunts you? Has the stress of moving to a new country impacted your well- being? Are you lonely and struggling in an unfamiliar environment? You can move beyond your struggles. Gain coping skills to manage your OCD, heal from trauma and thrive in your new home. Reach out now, I look forward to hearing your story.
