My approach to treating OCD is rooted in a holistic, compassionate understanding of each person's unique experiences. I recognize the broader emotional and relational factors that can influence obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. I find it incredibly meaningful to create a space where people feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal. Every small victory—whether it's someone breaking free from a cycle of compulsions, rebuilding relationships, or finding peace after grief—reinforces why I do this work. Beyond OCD, my focus areas include addiction, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and grief.

Why our members love working with Jay
M.P.
I can’t recommend my therapist enough. He has genuinely helped me gain a much better understanding of my OCD and taught me practical ways to manage it in everyday life. He’s an incredible listener, very patient and creates an environment where I always feel understood and supported. Because of his guidance and approach, I’ve made more progress than I ever thought possible. I’m extremely grateful for the growth and confidence I’ve gained through our sessions.
