As your OCD therapist, I will build trust and create a specialized treatment plan based on what's preventing you from having the quality of life you want. Expect an empathic and non-judgmental response to anything you share. (I have Tourette's Disorder, with tics and OCD symptoms I've learned to manage over the years.) We will work at your pace, but you'll be challenged at times to make changes that break the cycle of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. My other areas of focus include suicide intervention, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, and crisis management.
