Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW Registered Social Worker/ Psychotherapist
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder that affects people of all ages. Obsessions are unwanted intrusive thoughts, images or urges that trigger distress. Compulsions are behaviours that individuals engage in to try to get rid of the obsessions and/or decrease the distress. OCD treatment can be really difficult and requires a lot of support. I am here to help. I have specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to treat OCD.
I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help treat symptoms of OCD. CBT based therapy will teach you how to better understand your obsessions and your compulsions so you can work to interrupt the cycle. Exposure therapy can help you learn how to better cope with uncertainty and to evaluate the reality of your worries and fears. This form of therapy is structured and will require your participation outside of session in order to achieve the greatest benefits from our time together.
Welcome to Reflection Centre, where we provide a compassionate and evidence-based approach to help individuals struggling with OCD. Our trained clinicians understand the complexity and anxiety that OCD can bring, and we work closely with our clients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs. Our goal is to empower our clients to overcome their OCD and take back control of their lives. As a team, we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can feel heard and understood.
FREE consultations! Feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts? Does it feel like you have no control? Are you frustrated spending time and energy on compulsions and acting out urges? OCD can be stressful and frustrating. I am here to help you gain back control. Using cognitive behavioural therapy I will help you create awareness of your thoughts and through exposure therapy, we can slowly change our reactions and behaviours. I will help you become equipped with strategies to guide you to a more comfortable and less stressful life by reducing anxiety, obsessions, and compulsions. OCD can be exhausting, frustrating, time-consuming, and incredibly painful. Yet it is possible to live a life where obsessions are not as overwhelming, and life can be comfortable.

People exhibiting symptoms of OCD often appear anxious and engage in repetitive behaviors such as checking, counting, ordering, and rearranging things in search of reassurance. Many have experienced these symptoms during stressful periods in their lives. The stress of initiating therapy may exacerbate these anxious behaviors. However, once a trusting connection is established, comfort levels rise, allowing for modeling healthy coping mechanisms within a supportive environment. The focus will center on the underlying trauma below it
