I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder with agoraphobia at 17. I became a therapist to help those suffering from anxiety/panic disorders. As an OCD therapist, I'm also a coach and educator. We will work together on ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), celebrating wins along the way. You will be challenged but have a plethora of support. You are not alone. I've had a similar journey, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. I also focus on treating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

We all want to handle our issues and challenges in five minutes time....or take a pill...or run away from them... the biggest lesson, scariest realization, largest challenge, but the ultimate answer is that the NOCD software combined with my therapists help PUTS ME ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY...I was joking in our last session that I am like Dorothy and Toto in the wizard of oz where all the munchkins and the good which assured Dorothy that she would be ok if she just follows the yellow brick road..."follow the yellow brick road"
P.W.
We are staying the course... exposure and response...

I am cautiously optimistic that with my therapists help and some work on my end, this may be the single greatest thing to happen in my life...it is returning me to myself..

I big part of my learning to deal with my OCD is actually just knowing what I had. Although my obsessions and mental compulsions were/are not off the chart, they were bad enough....bad enough to really mess me up in almost every part of my living day to day. I simply was completely unaware of what was happening in my brain..
P.W.
i am scared and anxious about facing up to my OCD...last session we did my first exposure and then again yesterday i did the same exposure as homework..it feels weird to repeat the same thing over and over but i did get a little glimpse or feel for how the exposure dampens the fear and response
P.W.
this is all very new to me but i feel like i should be doing more and at the same i am a little confused on setting up my obsessions, triggers, and compulsions...
