Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist
OCD can be extremely distressful and make it very difficult to function in your life, as the obsessions and compulsions can take over. We can work together to find new ways of coping and work on healing to decrease the obsessions and compulsions so that you can focus on what is important.
I can help you navigate the challenges of OCD by exploring and addressing the intrusive thoughts and compulsions that disrupt your daily life. We’ll use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to gradually reduce the hold these symptoms have on you. I’ll be there to support you in developing practical strategies to manage your anxiety and resist the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors. Through our sessions, we’ll work on building your confidence and skills to regain control and improve your overall well-being. My goal is to support you in finding relief from OCD and creating a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I provide virtual services for those who feel like they are constantly battling the uncontrollable thoughts and compulsions of OCD. I am trained to provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and related disorders (ex. hoarding), and I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.
