I've been practicing as a licensed therapist for over 25 years, and my main area of focus is OCD. I use ERP therapy to treat any OCD theme, including those that are aggressive or taboo. I realize I'm asking you to do something scary and hard. I will give you the experience of having somebody alongside you every step of the way. I hope you find me to be a combination of compassionate, direct, and challenging—with encouragement all along the way. You can stand up to this.
