You're Not Broken. You Have OCD.
Specialized virtual OCD therapy using evidence-based ERP and ACT — for adults who are
exhausted by the loop and ready to actually get better.
Break Free From Intrusive Thoughts, Anxiety, and Compulsions
OCD is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed conditions in mental health. Most people think it's about being neat or organized. But if you're living with it, you know it's about something much harder than that. It's the thought you can't shake. The ritual you can't skip. The relationship doubt that shows up the moment things feel good. The "what if" that follows you everywhere. You've probably tried to logic your way out of it. You've reassured yourself, Googled your fears, asked the people you love to tell you it's going to be okay. And it helps — for a minute. Then the loop starts again.
That's not a character flaw. That's OCD. And there's a treatment that actually works.

What OCD Can Look Like
OCD shows up differently for everyone. You might recognize yourself in some of these:Intrusive thoughts that feel disturbing, shameful, or completely out of character
Mental rituals — replaying conversations, seeking reassurance, reviewing the past
Relationship OCD (ROCD) — constant doubt about your partner, your feelings, or whether you're with the right person
Harm OCD — fears of hurting someone you love despite having no desire to do so
Contamination fears and avoidance
Scrupulosity — moral or religious obsessions
Perfectionism and the need for things to feel "just right"
Postpartum intrusive thoughts
Health anxiety and reassurance spirals
Pure-O — obsessions with few visible compulsions but relentless mental looping
If you've been told you just have anxiety, or that therapy hasn't worked before,
there's a good chance OCD was missed. Specialized treatment makes a significant difference.Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for OCD, backed by decades of research. The goal isn't to eliminate intrusive thoughts — it's to change your relationship with them so they lose their power over your life.
In our work together, we'll build a gradual, collaborative exposure hierarchy that meets you where you are. Nothing is forced. Nothing is done faster than you're ready for. But we will move forward — because avoidance is what keeps OCD alive.
I pair ERP with ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) so you're not just white-knuckling your way through exposures. You'll develop genuine psychological flexibility — the ability to have uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them run your life.
ERP helps you:
Break the cycle of obsession, anxiety, compulsion, and temporary relief
Retrain your nervous system to tolerate uncertainty
Reclaim the time and energy OCD has been stealing
ACT helps you:
Stop fighting your thoughts and start moving toward what matters
Build a life guided by your values, not your fears
Reduce shame and self-judgment around intrusive thoughts
Relationship OCD (ROCD) Deserves Specialized Attention

Common Questions About OCD Therapy
ERP Works. Here's Why — and How I Do It.
ROCD is one of the most painful and least understood subtypes of OCD. It targets the relationships that matter most to you — creating relentless doubt, reassurance seeking, and a cycle that can slowly erode even healthy relationships.
You might constantly question whether you love your partner enough, whether they're the right person, whether you're truly attracted to them, or whether your relationship is "real." You might seek reassurance from your partner dozens of times a day — and feel better for a moment before the doubt rushes back in.
ROCD responds very well to ERP and ACT when treated by someone who understands it specifically. I work with both individuals and couples navigating ROCD.
A thorough intake assessment — we identify your OCD themes, subtypes, compulsions, and what's been maintaining the cycle
Education first — you'll understand exactly how OCD works and why reassurance and avoidance make it worse
A collaborative ERP hierarchy — built together, at a pace that challenges you without overwhelming you
ACT woven throughout — values clarification, defusion, and psychological flexibility built alongside exposure work
Nervous system integration — because OCD lives in the body too, not just the mind
Ongoing measurement — I track your progress with validated tools so we can both see what's shifting
I specialize in working with adults and young adults who are:Newly diagnosed or recently recognizing OCD for the first time
Previously in therapy that wasn't OCD-specific and didn't see results
Dealing with multiple overlapping conditions — OCD with ADHD, OCD with an eating disorder, or OCD alongside relationship challenges
Navigating ROCD individually or as a couple
Experiencing postpartum intrusive thoughts
High-functioning but quietly exhausted by the internal chaos
-
Yes, sometimes — and that's actually part of how it works. But "uncomfortable" doesn't mean overwhelming. We build your hierarchy carefully and collaboratively. You'll never be pushed into something you haven't agreed to.
-
No. Virtual ERP is highly effective and well-researched. Most exposures can be done remotely, and for many OCD presentations virtual therapy is actually advantageous.
-
ERP delivered by a non-specialist often doesn't work well. Proper ERP requires someone trained specifically in OCD treatment — not just general anxiety. If it hasn't worked before, that doesn't mean it won't work with the right support.
-
Yes — this is actually a specialty of mine. OCD, ADHD, and eating disorders overlap significantly and I'm trained in all three. Many of my clients carry more than one of these diagnoses and benefit from a therapist who can hold the whole picture.
