If you feel hesitant about starting OCD therapy, that's completely understandable. Opening up about your experiences can feel vulnerable. But you are stronger than you realize. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy is highly structured, but I balance evidence-based treatment with compassion and a personalized approach. I aim to create a space that feels warm, empowering, and non-judgmental, and I will truly listen to your unique story. We'll proceed at a collaborative and supportive pace. In addition to OCD, I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
