FAQs

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety or prevent a feared event. These patterns can significantly impact daily life and relationships.

  • Therapy, especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is highly effective in treating OCD. Together, we will work to challenge obsessive thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, and develop healthier coping strategies. We will also integrate holistic methods like mindfulness and somatic techniques to support healing.

  • While many people associate OCD with cleanliness or orderliness, it can manifest in many different ways. OCD can involve fears about harm, contamination, symmetry, or even fears of causing harm to others. The common thread is the need to perform compulsions to ease anxiety related to obsessive thoughts.

  • While OCD may not be "cured" in the traditional sense, it can be managed effectively with therapy, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle changes. With the right approach, people can learn to reduce the intensity of their symptoms and lead fulfilling, peaceful lives.

  • The time it takes to see progress can vary from person to person, but many clients begin to notice improvement within a few weeks to a few months of therapy. Consistency, patience, and a willingness to engage in treatment are key factors in the process.

  • It’s common to feel ashamed or embarrassed about OCD symptoms, but therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space to explore those feelings. I will work with you to understand your unique experiences and provide support with compassion and without judgment.

  • OCD is a chronic condition, but with effective treatment, many people experience significant improvement and can manage symptoms effectively. Through therapy, you can regain control over your thoughts and behaviors, leading to a more peaceful life.

  • If you experience intrusive, unwanted thoughts that cause significant distress and feel compelled to perform certain behaviors to alleviate that distress, it may be OCD. A thorough assessment at the onset of treatment will help determine a diagnosis.

  • My approach combines Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for treating OCD, with an integrated, holistic approach that supports your mind, body, and spirit. ERP helps you face feared situations without resorting to compulsions, gradually reducing anxiety over time. Along with ERP, I incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices to help you stay grounded, manage stress, and foster lasting healing. The goal is to help you gain control over OCD while supporting your overall well-being and personal growth.
