Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I help clients understand and work with the thoughts, urges, and patterns that show up in OCD. Together, we explore the underlying emotions and parts of yourself driving compulsions and anxiety. The goal is to develop insight, coping strategies, and greater freedom to live in alignment with your values.

Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
OCD is a bully that takes your values hostage. It finds what you care about most (your loved ones' safety, your goodness, your faith, your relationship) and turns it into unwanted thoughts you can't shake and rituals you can't skip: checking, washing, confessing, mentally reviewing, asking for reassurance one more time. The relief never lasts, and the loop keeps tightening. Here's what I want you to know: intrusive thoughts are not intentions, and being horrified by a thought is proof of your values, not evidence against them. I treat OCD with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), the gold-standard approach. It is collaborative, paced, never sprung on you. I also treat postpartum OCD, where intrusive thoughts about your baby leave you terrified and silent. That, too, is treatable, and having the thought is not the same as being a danger. The thoughts have had the last word long enough.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
OCD is more than being organized or liking things a certain way. It can involve unwanted thoughts, persistent doubt, and compulsive behaviors that become exhausting. Therapy can help you better understand OCD, reduce its hold on your life, and regain a sense of freedom in your thoughts.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating OCD, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on exposure and response prevention (ERP). This involves gradually confronting fears without engaging in compulsive behaviors, helping clients break the cycle of obsession and compulsion. Together, we challenge the irrational thoughts that drive your OCD, developing healthier responses and promoting greater flexibility around your thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to help you reduce the power OCD has in your life, improving your ability to function with confidence and calm.
