About the speciality
About the speciality
I specialize in treating OCD using exposure and response prevention (ERP), the most effective, evidence-based approach available. My work is structured yet personalized, helping you face intrusive thoughts and compulsions directly, reduce their impact, and regain freedom. This matters because talk therapy that explores intrusive thoughts often makes OCD worse by treating the thoughts as meaningful, while ERP remains the part of OCD treatment the research is clearest about. If your OCD has ever been reframed to you as a useful trait, it is worth reading why perfectionism, ADHD, and OCD are not superpowers.
