Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, has three essential parts: O is for obsessions, which are unwanted intrusive thoughts or images that cause anxiety; C is for compulsions, which are behaviors performed to reduce anxiety or prevent a feared outcome caused by obsessions; and D is for distress or dysfunction, which reflects how these obsessions and compulsions interfere with daily life.
What to Look For
What to Look For
Overthinking or checking situations to feel more safe or certain (i.e., stoves, health, conversations).
Seeking repeated reassurance through asking questions to others, the internet, or AI.
Doubting who you are or may become because of strange, horrific or taboo thoughts.
Upsetting feelings of "incompleteness" or unease until things seem "just right."
Nearly 8 million Americans - the population of New York City - will struggle with OCD at some point, and over 700,000 teens are affected before their 18th birthday.
My Unique Approach
My Unique Approach
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the science-baked, gold-standard treatment for OCD, where you and your therapist gradually face your fears without performing compulsions, learning that your anxiety will pass, your fears won't come true, and you are stronger than your OCD.
I work collaboratively with each client to tailor treatment plans that meet their unique goals and pace by augmenting treatment with other evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), ensuring compassionate and expert care throughour the recovery process.
