FREE consultations! Feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts? Does it feel like you have no control? Are you frustrated spending time and energy on compulsions and acting out urges? OCD can be stressful and frustrating. I am here to help you gain back control. Using cognitive behavioural therapy I will help you create awareness of your thoughts and through exposure therapy, we can slowly change our reactions and behaviours. I will help you become equipped with strategies to guide you to a more comfortable and less stressful life by reducing anxiety, obsessions, and compulsions. OCD can be exhausting, frustrating, time-consuming, and incredibly painful. Yet it is possible to live a life where obsessions are not as overwhelming, and life can be comfortable.

OCD consists of obsessional thoughts and/or compulsive behaviours. These thoughts are recurring and persistent, and are unwanted and intrusive in nature. Additionally, compulsive behaviours are repetitive and done in response to obsessional thoughts or in response to rigid rules.

OCD, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). The compulsions are performed in an attempt to alleviate anxiety caused by the obsessions, but they often provide only temporary relief and can interfere with daily life activities.
Symptoms of OCD can vary, but common obsessions include concerns about contamination, a need for order and symmetry, and intrusive, distressing thoughts. Compulsions may include excessive cleaning and hand-washing, repeated checking, counting, or organizing, and mental rituals.
OCD can have a significant impact on quality of life, but it is treatable. Effective treatments for OCD include a combination of psychotherapy, specifically Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP), and medication. If you or a loved one is struggling with OCD, it is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional to receive a proper diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. OCD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with OCD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.

We will collaborate on the best treatment plan for you. I typically use a less traditional approach to CBT, in place of having you fill out a chart, I will ask you the questions. We can come up with exposure therapy that suits you.
