My approach to OCD therapy is to be as collaborative as possible. I will provide plenty of education about OCD and ERP (Exposure and Response Therapy), and I'll work with you to apply these strategies to your daily life. We will start small and work our way up. It will most likely feel uncomfortable at times, but I'm here to support you and encourage you. Therapy will be rewarding as long as you're willing to try little things over time. You can learn how to enjoy your life again.
