OCD isn’t just about constantly washing your hands or organizing your closet to perfection. Sure, it can include those things, but OCD is a misunderstood and misrepresented aspect of mental health that often goes beyond a need for cleanliness or fear of germs. If you feel stuck by the need to do certain things or think certain thoughts in order to alleviate anxiety this may be an area to explore. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), one of the most effective treatments of OCD, as well as the creativity and playfulness of drama therapy to support you in breaking out of these patterns.

Anxiety really likes to convince us that we don’t deserve rest or downtime and that slowing down decreases our worth. I specialize in supporting individuals through these feelings of “stuckness” and “not enough-ness” that make it challenging to slow down enough to fully experience the things that bring us joy. While I am well-equipped to support you in discovering and practicing the coping skills that work for you, I go beyond that to the root cause of this anxiety and deep-seated belief of unworthiness. Let’s rewrite these beliefs and move into a place where rest is viewed as a necessary and deserved part of your wellbeing.
