I offer evaluation and management of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that includes personalized medication options. By taking the time to understand your individual experiences and challenges, I collaborate with you to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. My aim is to foster a supportive environment where you can gain insights into your condition and experience relief through effective medication strategies.
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 particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.
Dr. David Steinbok believes that change occurs within the individual, through insight and awareness. By utilizing the therapist as an accepting, non-judgmental participant, one can come to understand what keeps them from moving forward and achieving more satisfaction in their lives.
