I will help you take each step in OCD treatment, whether it's a baby step or a giant leap. You possess a great amount of bravery by starting therapy. I recognize that guilt, shame, anger, and fear can be significant triggers in OCD, and that stigma and a lack of knowledge can have a damaging effect on people who want help. I focus on helping people overcome feelings of shame associated with working to improve their lives. Beyond OCD, I have experience treating addictions and working with college students.

This was a really great session that helped prepare me for a major life event I have coming up! I gained a new perspective on how to distance myself from my thoughts. Also had an insightful conversation about the various themes of OCD. Thank you!!

Baby steps!

This was an extremely helpful session. I had a difficult week and knew I needed to discuss some important topics with my therapist, which we did. I felt immensely better after the session.
J.P.
Jendaya is really helping me through a period of intense anxiety with patience and compassion and still keeping me accountable for tracking my compulsions and rituals even when it feels extra difficult. My anxiety levels always feel reduced after our sessions.

J.K.
I have been working with my therapist for about a month and a half and I’ve noticed significant progress with my OCD symptoms. While recovering from OCD is a daily challenge, I’ve felt supported by my therapist throughout and she has helped me uncover what is fueling my anxiety and OCD so that I can recover faster. She also has provided plenty of helpful tips and is open to answering any questions that I have about recovery.
