I'm a non-judgmental, empathetic, evidence-based therapist. I want to help people live their best lives. OCD therapy will feel uncomfortable in the beginning as we build rapport, but I am not going to judge you. That initial discomfort will be worth it for the long-term results: Being able to live your life in a more fulfilling way. The most gratifying aspect of treating OCD is helping people achieve real-life results. In addition to specializing in OCD, I have a trauma certification and am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
