My approach to treating OCD is gentle yet challenging. My aim is to increase your sense of autonomy and self-empowerment. There may be challenging moments in OCD therapy, but you are not alone on this journey. I'm here to provide support and guidance, with no judgment. I also specialize in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The symptoms and effects of OCD may relate to a traumatic event; they may also mirror anxiety or depression. Let me help you experience a more peaceful way of living.

Alelia is very thoughtful and keeps detailed notes from our last session. This ensures I stay accountable, in a very encouraging way, while also making sure we continue to make progress on my BFRB.
