Are you consumed with distressing thoughts or images, and spending hours chasing, analyzing, reviewing, and giving meaning to the intrusive thoughts? As someone who also experiences this, there is hope and recovery to overcome OCD. I will teach you how to change your relationship with anxiety by looking it in the face and walking towards it instead of walking away. It is easy to stay trapped and believe the false messages that your OCD feeds you. I will teach you how to rewire your brain into no longer believing those false threats that your brain is torturing you with. My treatment approach teaches you how to stop competing
with your OCD and become your own boss. It’s easy to fall for the tricks that OCD plays on your mind. The thoughts and the emotions completely hijack our reality so how could they not be easy to fall for? With the proper tools, I can teach you how to be your own therapist so that you can overcome your intrusive and obsessive thoughts. Whether you are
suffering from harm and violent OCD, contamination OCD, Just right/perfectionism OCD, relationship OCD, religious/scrupulosity OCD, symmetry OCD, sexual orientation OCD, existential OCD, sensimotor OCD, pedophilia OCD, suicidal OCD, or health anxiety, let’s work together as a team to quit giving your intrusive thoughts meaning and live a happier life.
