I’m passionate about treating OCD and related disorders, which often cause overwhelming anxiety and intrusive thoughts that can consume a person's daily existence. Guiding someone through the process of understanding and managing their symptoms, and ultimately gaining control over them, is incredibly rewarding. I primarily use exposure and response prevention (ERP), which empowers people to break the cycle of OCD. I also strive to understand the broader context of a person's mental health and create comprehensive and personalized treatment plans, which might involve integrating other therapeutic techniques.
