My Specialties

OCD is more than being tidy or particular. It's a cycle of unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that bring intense distress, followed by the pull to do something to make that feeling go away. The relief never lasts, and the cycle tightens over time.

Stuck on a thought you can't shake, no matter how much you check, pray, google, or ask for reassurance? That's often OCD, and it's very treatable.

It might sound like:

  • "What if I hurt someone I love?"

  • "Did I lock the door? I need to check again."

  • "Do I really love my partner?"

  • "What if God is angry with me?"

  • "Why do I keep having thoughts I don't want?"

I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard treatment for OCD. Together, we'll help you break the cycle and get your peace of mind back.

OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

Always on edge, overthinking everything, or bracing for the next panic attack? Anxiety can make everyday life feel exhausting, and you don't have to wait until you're in crisis to get support.

It might sound like:

  • "Why can't I just turn my brain off?"

  • "What if something goes wrong?"

  • "Why do I feel so awkward around people? Do they even like me?"

  • "Did I say the wrong thing? Are they upset with me?"

  • "Why does my heart race like something is really wrong?"

  • "Why do I keep avoiding things I actually want to do?"

Using evidence based tools like CBT and exposure work, we'll calm the what ifs, face what you've been avoiding, and help you feel more like yourself again.

Anxiety & Panic

Feeling stuck in the same patterns, whether with a partner, family, or friends? Our earliest relationships shape how we love, trust, and handle conflict today, and those patterns can change.

It might sound like:

  • "Why do I always feel like I'm too much or not enough?"

  • "Why do we keep having the same fight?"

  • "Why is it so hard for me to say no?"

  • "Why do I pull away when someone gets close?"

  • "Why do I panic when they don't text back?"

Using attachment theory, we'll explore where these patterns come from and build more secure, honest connections. This work is available in individual sessions or together as a couple.
