About

In therapy, I first establish that this is a judgment-free zone. I'm a safe person to speak with. Second, I want to make sure you know exactly what OCD is and the best ways to treat it. Third, I'll walk with you as you do exposure response prevention (ERP) exercises to slowly defeat the OCD monster. OCD therapy won't be easy, but you will not be alone. I also focus on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and trauma.

      Debby is a great therapist. She listens to me, understands my feelings, and lets me express myself without judgement. She deeply understands OCD and knows how to treat it effectively. My symptoms have decreased significantly since I began working with her.

      Debby is very helpful. I’ve only had one session with her so far, but I am already feeling more confident about my ability to overcome my intrusive thoughts after speaking with her.
