My approach to treating OCD is direct but compassionate. In sessions, I'll be non-judgmental and curious to understand how intrusive thoughts have been impacting your daily life. I aim to be collaborative; treatment and recovery should feel like it's a joint effort. I'll hold accountability in areas when it's appropriate, and I'll meet you where you're at in terms of readiness to do the work. In addition to OCD treatment, I also specialize in social anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, and depression recovery.
