I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

OCD can be paralyzing and hijack your life. Skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you change your relationship to obsessive thoughts and channel your behaviors toward living your values more fully.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) therapy is a specialized treatment designed to help individuals who are struggling with the often debilitating symptoms of OCD. This mental health disorder is characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Our therapy services focus on providing evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to reduce the occurrence and impact of OCD symptoms, thereby improving daily functioning and quality of life.
Evidence-Based Treatment for OCD
* Tailored CBT Techniques: We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge the distorted thinking patterns that fuel their obsessions and compulsions.
* Exposure and Response Prevention: ERP involves gradually exposing clients to their feared objects or ideas (exposures) and teaching them to resist the urge to carry out their usual compulsive acts (response prevention).
* Skills Training: Clients are trained in stress management and relaxation techniques to help manage the anxiety that often accompanies OCD.
* Mindfulness and Acceptance: Incorporating elements of mindfulness helps clients learn to accept their obsessive thoughts without acting on them compulsively.
* Family Involvement: We provide support and education for families of individuals with OCD so that they can better understand the disorder and offer the right kind of support to their loved ones.
Goals of OCD Therapy
Our OCD therapy services strive to:
* Reduce OCD Symptoms: Aim to significantly decrease the frequency and severity of obsessions and compulsions.
* Increase Functionality: Help clients regain control over their lives and engage more fully with work, school, and social activities.
* Enhance Coping Skills: Equip individuals with tools and strategies to manage OCD symptoms independently and effectively.
* Improve Quality of Life: Focus on improving overall well-being, satisfaction, and happiness in life beyond OCD symptoms.
* Prevent Relapse: Provide clients with the knowledge and skills to maintain their progress and prevent the recurrence of severe OCD symptoms.
OCD therapy is a path toward reclaiming a sense of normalcy and freedom from the cycles of obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Our commitment lies in delivering compassionate and competent care tailored to each individual’s experience. If you or a loved one is grappling with OCD, reach out to us to learn more about our targeted OCD therapy services and begin the journey to recovery.
