I treat OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the best way to teach the brain and body to break the cycle of anxiety. Starting therapy is a huge step, and it takes a lot of courage, so welcome! Although it may feel scary or uncomfortable, those are the moments when we grow the most. Therapy is a space for you to learn, explore, and grow, in a safe space without judgment. I also specialize in treating other anxiety-related disorders, depressive disorders, and ADHD.

Get to know Lilly
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
I have a family history of generalized anxiety and some family members with schizophrenia too. My experience with family helps me approach OCD with an open mind.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I'm a very calm, supportive, and compassionate person. I try to be as genuine as I can be, because I know that it's difficult to talk to people when you don't feel like they're being authentic.
What I want to help you see in yourself
You're in control of yourself and your mind. OCD takes a lot of joy out of things you enjoy, like spending time with family and friends, but you can get that back through ERP.
My message to you if you're struggling right now
ERP can be a scary process. OCD doesn't like when you fight back, so it might feel like it's getting bigger, but we keep pushing. Know that we do this in a way that's gradual, so it's not doing the scariest thing that you can possibly think of first. We work our way up to those harder things.
Why our members love working with Lilly
J.H.
Good experienceLilly has been amazing. She has helped me to make so much progress over the last few months, pushing me just enough but not so much that I'm ever discouraged.
L.H.
Good experienceLilly is helpful and listens. She gives me good ideas to work with my overly anxious thoughts and techniques to improve my quality of life.
K.K.
Good experienceIt has been shockingly helpful. I'll admit that I didn't know if I could be helped and I was just really hoping it would work. It's only been about 2 months and I feel so much improvement! I also really love my therapist and she's always there between sessions if I need her! They also let me set up a payment plan since my insurance doesn't completely cover it. It has been so helpful for my daily life that I still kind of can't believe it!
