We're in this process together. As your OCD therapist, I will truly listen to you and understand what you're experiencing. Empathy is a critical part of my approach. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is hard work, but it is the way through. ERP is known as the gold standard of OCD treatment for a reason — it works. I will emphasize and implement the out-of-session element of ERP, which is important and will affect results. In addition to OCD, I specialize in treating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), anxiety, and depression.
