Loving all the different aspects of our personalities and ways in which we seek to cope in life can be necessary, as we seek to understand ways to minimize some 'not so helpful' behaviors
I can treat symptoms of OCD, which is characterized by intrusive, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety or prevent perceived harm.
I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). My focus is on helping you identify and challenge intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, providing practical strategies to manage and reduce symptoms. I work collaboratively with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fosters recovery, improves daily functioning, and supports your overall well-being.

OCD affects individuals of all ages and often is missed by providers. Over the years I have worked with clients who are misdiagnosed as ADHD and anxiety when their primary issue was OCD. OCD can start as young as a toddler and also increase for some people when they get older. PANDAS is when OCD is caused from an illness. Assessing an identifying those symptoms are essential for successful treatment.
