Are your thoughts and actions taking up all of your time and
leaving you feeling exhausted?
Maybe you've been feeling trapped by thoughts stuck on replay or urges that keep you continuously redoing things. Perhaps it feels like you're losing control, living by a strict set of rules you didn't even choose. You may even hide these things from friends and family, for fear that you might feel embarrassed or that they wouldn't understand.
​
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice an impact in every part of your life:
​
-
Not doing as well as you'd like to at work or school because rituals like checking, washing, or re-ordering things are consuming your time
-
Being unable to enjoy your progress because you're busy trying to predict and prevent worst-case scenarios
-
Avoiding making important decisions or taking action because of a paralyzing fear of doing something wrong
OCD Therapy can help.
It may feel impossible right now, but you can have a clear and focused mind. You can feel a sense of freedom from your rituals. You can live a happier life. And I can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions About OCD Therapy
How do you treat OCD?
The best treatment for OCD is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) proven to reduce obsessions and compulsions. ERP helps you gradually face triggers while resisting rituals, so anxiety decreases naturally over time. Working with a therapist like me who is trained in ERP gives you tools to break free from the cycle of OCD.
How does ERP Therapy help OCD?
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy helps people with OCD by exposing them to triggers in a structured way and preventing compulsive behaviors. Through guided practice, you learn to tolerate discomfort and gain control over intrusive thoughts. This reduces anxiety and teaches your brain that you don’t need compulsions to feel safe and comfortable.
How long does OCD Therapy take?
OCD therapy doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all timeline, but most clients notice improvement within a few months of weekly ERP sessions. Some may need longer treatment for more severe symptoms. The key is regular practice and support from your therapist.
