Living with OCD can feel overwhelming. Intrusive thoughts spark fears of catastrophe, and no matter how many rituals, compulsions, or avoidance strategies you try, nothing seems to truly help.

Over time, your world can shrink, hope can fade, and the usual “skills and pills” approaches may leave you feeling stuck.

The truth is, there’s nothing wrong with you – and your brain isn’t broken. OCD is maintained by a vicious cycle where the very things that feel natural to do to “fix” the problem actually make it stronger.

The way forward is to understand how OCD really works and learn how to break out of the cycle. Through exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, you can break free from OCD’s grip and reclaim your life. I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

I am a therapist, scientist, supervisor, trainer, and recognized leader in the field. For over 20 years, I’ve run a private practice focused on OCD and anxiety disorders. I have trained future psychologists as a university professor, presented workshops to professionals around the world, and co-authored Exposure Therapy for Anxiety: Principles and Practice, a leading text in the field. My research has been widely cited, and I’ve held leadership roles in both universities and professional organizations. I am also a Fellow of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.

My passion is helping people overcome OCD and build rich, full, and meaningful lives. With the right tools and support, you can face your fears, regain confidence, and rediscover freedom.
