I use a range of modalities to treat all OCD subtypes including Exposure and Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
My approach to working with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their intrusive thoughts and urges without judgment, fostering a commitment to value-driven actions rather than compulsive behaviors. EMDR is used to process and resolve traumatic memories that may contribute to the onset or exacerbation of OCD symptoms, promoting cognitive and emotional healing. SE addresses the physiological manifestations of anxiety and stress associated with OCD, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance. This holistic approach aims to reduce the intensity and frequency of OCD symptoms, enhance emotional regulation, and improve overall well-being.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is something that I recognize as a hardship not only to the client but for my clients families and partners as well. I usually spend time with all parties to help to ease the suffering that has been inflicted upon them as well as healing the symptoms of OCD within the main client.
There are many reasons why we find ourselves fixated on or frustrated by certain things. They are most often associated with some of our irrational beliefs and fears. When these obsessions or compulsions begin to eat away at relationships or our ability to live fully, that's a good indicator that there might be some important work to do. Let's explore this together.
