OCD can feel debilitating or "crazy" and can induce shame or guilt because oftentimes symptoms aren't understood; however, I want to assure folks that there is nothing crazy or shameful about experiencing OCD. It's impact on your life can change, and the first step is taking the plunge with ACT and ERP treatment. This is a collaborative process where we identify and work with your values and needs and adapt them into gradual exposures (or challenges) to your OCD. We may even add some humor to the mix to laugh at fears too, if that's something you'd also be interested in, because if we can laugh at our fear, we aren't stuck!
I offer individual, online sessions for OCD and related disorders, as well as for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). I provide ACT and ERP for OCD and anxiety, and I provide HRT and ComB for BFRB symptoms, where my clients and I work collaboratively to challenge discomfort, while also using humor and their values to get to the life they want.
I believe in the importance of providing a safe, supportive, and caring environment where clients work collaboratively with me to build their confidence, and challenge themselves and their discomfort. I believe it’s vital that clients understand that they matter and are more than their diagnoses. You're not alone in this. If interested, please reach out!

"
I often use person centered, ERP, ACT, existentialism, and gestalt therapies. I view therapy as collaborative and believe its important to focus on the person within their contexts and how a client's past could influence their current presentation, without "living" there, as it no longer serves the client. Then we can acknowledge, challenge, and incorporate values that you want, not what OCD wants
