OCD is not who you are — it’s something you’ve been carrying, often for far too long. With the right support, including evidence‑based treatments designed specifically for OCD, it is possible to loosen OCD's grip and reclaim the parts of your life that feel out of reach right now. Whether you live in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, or the Rockford area, or rural parts of Illinois, I have proven strategies and the experience to make OCD a thing of the past for you.
As an OCD specialist working with individuals across Illinois, I use ERP — a proven, research‑supported method for easing intrusive thoughts. With ERP as our foundation, we’ll move together in a way that feels safe and sustainable for you. With time, you can expect to feel more grounded, more capable, and more connected to the life you want.
Therapy with me is a partnership. You bring your lived experience; I bring clinical expertise and a grounded presence. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, healing, and meaningful change.
