OCD Therapy
As a lived experience clinician, I know how OCD can rob us of our ability to enjoy life and be inside our bodies in a way that feels good. Healing is possible. You can inhabit your own life. Your life is yours.
Treating OCD is different than working with any other mental health issue. Talk therapy feeds the OCD.
Trauma treatment doesn't provide the day to day coping we need first to get some relief.
For many of my clients, once the OCD is under control we can dig deep into the negative beliefs and where they came from using trauma therapy and EMDR.
Blending the gold standard for OCD treatment, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) which gets at the root of OCD, we will build tools that will help you take control of your life again.
I specifically specialize in Rumination (excessive thinking compulsion) used Rumination-Focused ERP, which is highly effective for getting free of mental rumination.
I work with adults, teens and kids who have OCD. I specialize in working with folks also in the LGBTQ+ community.
I also treat GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and BFRB's (Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors) using the most effective modailities available.
A percentage of my spots are sliding scale for QTPOC folks.
