Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can feel consuming, making it hard to focus, relax, or feel in control. I provide a safe, compassionate space to explore the patterns and triggers behind intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, while helping you develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. Together, we work toward reducing anxiety, building resilience, and creating a life where OCD no longer dictates your daily choices or limits your potential.

Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
OCD is a way of coping with deep anxiety and a need for control in a world that has felt unsafe. These patterns often develop early, when a sense of safety or emotional connection was missing, leading the mind to create order as a way to manage overwhelming internal experiences. In my work, we explore the underlying roots of these patterns with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
OCD can be debilitating due to having unwanted, recurring thoughts that cause people to engage in frequent, repetitive behaviours in order to relieve anxiety. People with OCD often feel overwhelmed due to needing things a certain way with leaving little to no room for flexibility. Rigidity takes over, which can create feelings of sadness and helplessness. The therapy models that I use for OCD are primarily Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The CBT model involves challenging unwanted thoughts that may be exacerbating the OCD. Once clients identify the thoughts that are linked to the unwanted behaviours, they learn to have more choice over how they would like to respond to those thoughts. Gaining control over the unwanted thoughts is a powerful step in the healing process, as clients feel empowered to make independent choices that are in line with their values. Values-oriented work is largely derived from the ACT model. As we explore values, clients gain a deep understanding of the type of life they would like to live. They explore what makes life rich and meaningful and what changes need to happen in order to reach their full potential.

Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
OCD is sadly missed for alot of clients, especially if you have more internal compulsion and obsession ( such as rumination, checking, analyzing etc). I have seen hpow a great deal of clients have struggled with this for years and their mental compulsions take up a lot of time and energy. For this I like to support people with having a different relationship with their thoughts, recognising when they are doing compulsions that may fly under the radar and addressing the underlying anxiety.
