As an OCD therapist, I'm straightforward, calm, and mindful. I provide a warm space to talk about your thoughts without judgment. Exposure therapy can help rewire the brain, and sitting with emotions can help normalize bodily sensations we often associate with feeling "bad." I will bring a compassionate, grounded approach to sessions, remaining by your side through the journey. My other areas of focus include trauma, helping victims of domestic violence, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

Get to know Tony
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
I struggled with contamination OCD as a kid. I did not want to use public restrooms or even restrooms outside the house where I grew up. I did some ERP therapy to work through it. My experience helps me recognize the resilience and strength that my Members are coming in with—even in their moments of struggle.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I'm an active listener. I validate your feelings. I like to foster an atmosphere of trust, helping my Members feel that they can express themselves, their fears, and their anxieties without judgment.
What I want to help you see in yourself
I help you see your strength that you didn't see coming into treatment. As you progress with your ERP skills, you'll be able to notice how OCD has previously shaped your life. You're experiencing a challenging condition, but it can be managed—because you have all the skills to overcome it. You just have to learn them and apply them.
My message to you if you're struggling right now
You've conquered scarier things in the past—this is just a new challenge. Remember that so many people walk away from ERP feeling relieved.
Why our members love working with Tony
S.A.
Tony is great and understanding. I just need a dr to physically drive with me and force me to go out of my comfort zone but its newr impossible! I already have done exposure response therapy and many many other treatments since having agoraphobia for 17 long years but nothing helps me. its robbed me from doing anything. Good luck to others.
G.T.
Tony was an absolute godsend this session. He helped me dig deeper into my past traumas and how it interacts with my OCD. Tony is an amazing therapist.
L.K.
I have been trying to fight the urges to compulse, through tools my therapist Anthony taught me. Also, I try to look at things logically. I still give in at times but am trying to have more self control.

K.D.
I was nervous and rambled on even more than I usually do, however Anthony was able to control the conversation and keep me on track. I look forward to our next session. Karl
Q.M.
Making progress!
P.D.
Tony, thank you for your time today, and listening to my struggles. Crying at the end of our first session together was a sign of a massive relief for me. I cannot wait to see the progress I am going to make for myself with your help.
