As your OCD therapist, I will help you gradually face your obsessions and reduce compulsive behaviors in a way that feels manageable and supportive. In our sessions, I'll make sure you feel understood while gently encouraging you to challenge unhelpful responses to your worries. Although this can be scary and challenging, I'll be by your side every step of the way. It is a privilege to be part of your healing journey. I also focus on treating trauma and substance use, always providing a safe and non-judgmental space.
