My experience in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has been both rewarding and transformative. With a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OCD, I guide individuals through a structured and evidence-based approach to confronting their fears and breaking free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Through systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli and prevention of ritualistic behaviors, I help clients gradually build tolerance to their distress and learn more adaptive ways of coping.
I specialize in exposure therapy with response prevention (ERP) which is an empirically supported treatment for OCD. By utilizing this behavioral treatment, I help clients work through anxiety while reducing compulsive behavior.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)- a type of CBT- is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. We use ERP to treat all varieties of OCD, including contamination OCD, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, symmetry OCD, harm OCD, scrupulosity OCD, and more.
I have primarily been working with individuals with OCD for over 10 years. I use empirically supported treatments including exposure and response prevention and acceptance and commitment therapy to target the symptoms of OCD.
