Therapy for OCD & Related Disorders

Intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or urges like skin picking or hoarding can feel overwhelming and exhausting. While OCD is one of the most common conditions I treat, I also support clients with related concerns such as hoarding disorder and body-focused repetitive behaviors (like skin picking or cheek biting). With the right support and proven approaches like ERP and I-CBT, it is possible to break free from these cycles, quiet obsessive thoughts, and build confidence in daily life.

Areas of Focus:

Evidence-Based Approaches:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Intrusive thoughts and compulsive rituals that feel overwhelming or hard to control.
Trichotillomania: Recurrent hair-pulling that leads to hair loss and distress.
Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs): Skin picking, nail biting, cheek biting, and other self-grooming habits that are difficult to stop.
Hoarding Disorder: Difficulty discarding items, leading to clutter and challenges in daily life.

Evidence-Based Approaches:

Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP): The gold-standard treatment for OCD and related disorders.
Inhibitory Learning CBT (I-CBT): Builds new learning pathways to reduce the power of obsessions and compulsions.
Cognitive Therapy: identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that fuel OCD symptoms.
Habit Reversal Training (HRT) & Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment (ComB): Effective strategies for trichotillomania and other body-focused repetitive behaviors.
Mindfulness & Acceptance Strategies: Reduce distress and improve flexibility in responding to intrusive thoughts and urges.
