You’ve tried managing your compulsions on your own, but it’s so hard to stop, yet you are missing out on so much of what you want from your life. You want to get your life back but aren’t sure how to get there. I want you to know that whether you're dealing with OCD, anxiety, or Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), you don’t have to go it alone. There are highly effective methods to get you where you want to be - free from the control these anxieties, obsessions and compulsions have over your life. We can work together to understand the origins and perpetuating factors of these issues and develop a plan to take your life back.
My approach is centered around you—using evidence-based methods of CBT, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and inference-based CBT for OCD (iCBT), as well as the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB) for BFRBs, we can work to uncover and address the triggers behind your behaviors and develop a plan to resolve the fears, doubts, and compulsions.
I'm here to support you in gaining a fresh perspective and taking back control of your life. Let's start with a free 15-minute consultation to discuss how we can work together to help you move forward.
