I have helped those struggling with OCD and intrusive thoughts for a decade so understand experiencing these symptoms can be scary and confusing, but I know that you are NOT your thoughts, and there is help available. I have extensive training in ERP and I-CBT therapy to help you get your life back.
I have experience working with people who have mild, moderate, and severe OCD. I generally take a CBT-based, exposure/response prevention approach when helping people to overcome OCD. This depends, of course, on your experience of OCD. I am also available to help autistic people manage OCD-like symptoms they find troubling.
Living with OCD can be overwhelming, as intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours disrupt daily life. In therapy for OCD, I provide a supportive environment to help you understand and manage your symptoms. Using evidence-based techniques from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we work together to reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms.
