Why Specialized Help Matters

While it's true that life can be overwhelming at times, it's just as true that you don’t have to face it alone—or rely only on what you already know. When it comes to conditions like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and obsessive rumination, these challenges are incredibly skilled at twisting your thoughts, manipulating your feelings, and undermining your progress. That’s why traditional advice or even general talk therapy falls short.

With these disorders, real recovery starts with the right kind of help. Working with a therapist who specializes in OCD and anxiety disorders—and who is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment—can make a world of difference. This isn’t about starting from scratch; it’s about unlocking the strength, resilience, and tools you already carry within you.

You have what it takes to heal. Let the right support guide you forward.

My Approach to Working With You

In our first few weekly online sessions, we’ll begin by understanding the unique patterns behind your distress, what’s holding you back, and what you’re striving for. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and assess your readiness to take meaningful steps forward.

After each session, you’ll receive targeted “homework”- carefully selected readings, podcasts, videos, and real-life experiments to help you apply what we’ve discussed. These exercises are designed to support your growth between sessions and to build lasting change. Your commitment to engaging in this work is one of the strongest predictors of success - and I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

Recovery isn’t linear, and it’s rarely easy. But with the right tools, support, and mindset, it is absolutely possible. I’ll help you navigate the mental traps that OCD and anxiety so cleverly set, empowering you with the strategies you need to take back control of your life.

The path forward won’t be easy - but it will be worth it. The sooner you begin, the sooner recovery is possible. The choice is yours.   

Meeting You Where You Are

If you're feeling overwhelmed right now—tired, stuck, or even ready to give up—you’re not alone. It’s completely normal to feel that way when life becomes too much. In fact, those moments when it seems hardest to ask for help are often the times when therapy can make the biggest difference.

You may not feel it yet, but your mind holds strength and potential that hasn’t been fully accessed. While there are no guarantees in healing, there is hope—hope for a life with greater clarity, purpose, and meaning.

The road to feeling better won’t always be easy. But it will be worth it.

Wherever you are right now, that’s where we’ll begin. You don’t have to do this alone.

Virtual ERP (Exposure Response Prevention)
Effective. Evidence-Based. Convenient.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other serious anxiety disorders. It’s backed by decades of research and is widely recognized as the most effective approach for long-term results.

I’ve been offering ERP through secure online sessions because for many people, virtual therapy offers the same results as in-person care, with added flexibility and accessibility. In fact, clinical studies confirm that online ERP is just as effective as face-to-face treatment.

Don’t be that person

Top 8 Mistakes People Make When Seeking Help for OCD & Anxiety

1. Waiting too long – Early help makes recovery easier. Start now.

2. Relying on self-diagnosis – Professional guidance ensures you’re on the right track.

3. Seeking constant reassurance – Notice the urge without acting on it.

4. Avoiding uncomfortable thoughts – Facing them gradually is how change happens.

5. Expecting instant results – Progress comes in small, steady steps.

6. Not being fully honest – Share everything with your provider for effective support.

7. Ignoring lifestyle factors – Sleep, stress, and self-care support your recovery.

8. Putting off action – Hesitating only keeps you stuck; taking one step matters more than any intention.
