Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Do you find yourself experiencing an increased level of anxiety or fear around specific topics in your life? OCD is a disorder that causes frequent unwanted thoughts, images, sensations, or urges that are not limited by one or more theme. These unwanted experiences are then followed by behaviors, both mentally and physically, to alleviate distress. I have two years of experience treating OCD with the evidence based gold standard treatment, exposure response prevention (ERP). ERP is a treatment that supports client's in increasing comfort with fear based stimulus in a systematic way that allows for improvement in day to day life. I work with clients to increase awareness of obsessions and compulsions, and then create a specific treatment plan to reduce symptoms of OCD. During this I support continued learning of how OCD works, and strive to provide skills and knowledge to maintain progress long after therapy.
