Reduce the grip of intrusive thoughts, avoidance, and rituals with Exposure and Response Prevention alongside ACT.

Build a more flexible relationship with worry and uncertainty while moving toward what matters to you.

Use gradual, collaborative exposure to face feared situations and regain freedom in daily life.
OCD themes
OCD can attach itself to what you value most, making thoughts feel alarming, shameful, or deeply inconsistent with who you are. Having an intrusive thought is not the same as wanting to act on it.
Treatment does not try to prove with certainty what each thought means. It focuses on changing the cycle of obsession, checking, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and rituals, with careful assessment of your individual circumstances.
If you have avoided discussing certain thoughts because you fear being judged, we can approach them with care, respect, and a specialized understanding of OCD.
Telehealth for OCD & phobias
You don't have to live near my office to receive specialized, evidence-based care. Through secure telehealth sessions, I work with adults experiencing OCD, phobias, panic disorder, health anxiety, and related anxiety disorders throughout Washington (and PSYPACT states, where applicable).
Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan designed to help you reduce avoidance, face fears with confidence, and build a life guided by your values—not anxiety.
