Hello, I don't do generic therapy. OCD needs exposure work, not breathing exercises. Trauma needs processing with EMDR, not years of talking. Anxiety needs behavior change, not just insight. Sessions aren't rushed. Treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. If past therapy felt superficial, that's why I specialize in these disorders.

Face what OCD has been stealing from you. Process trauma that talk therapy hasn't touched. Build tolerance for uncertainty instead of chasing reassurance. Track progress with validated measures, not vibes. Adjust treatment based on what's working in your life, not what a protocol says should work. Wrap up when you've improved—not when we hit some quota.

Direct. Real. Someone who actually gets OCD and trauma. Not generic or scripted. Won't give reassurance or let you avoid the work. Clients say I understand the actual experience not just the diagnosis and that I call out compulsions they've been hiding. Straightforward about what's working and what isn't. Doesn't keep people in therapy longer than necessary.

Have tried therapy before and it didn't work. Whose OCD hijacks their life with intrusive thoughts and compulsions that make no sense. Who carry trauma in their body that talk therapy hasn't touched. Who are tired of therapists who don't understand exposure work or who keep them in treatment forever.

I've seen how anxiety, OCD, and trauma can hijack people's lives and I've also seen how the right treatment actually works when it's done properly. Too much therapy is superficial or keeps people stuck in endless processing. I wanted to practice differently: evidence-based work, small caseload, clinical judgment over corporate metrics.
