You already checked to make sure your front door was locked, and now you’re going to check again. It’s always the same struggle; an intrusive idea takes root and refuses to let go. From there, it spirals out of control, multiplying into countless variations and scenarios. You know that logically it doesn’t make any sense, but you can’t help yourself. "What's wrong with me?" you keep wondering. You’re constantly trapped in a cycle of distressing thoughts, compelled to engage in repetitive behaviors or safety measures. It's a constant battle, and you long for a life free from the grip of these obsessions and compulsions. I can help you unravel the underlying patterns that keep you trapped in the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Together, we’ll transform your pain into valuable lessons for personal growth. Through targeted exposures to triggers, you’ll learn to navigate anxiety with compassion, rediscover your power, and break out of the constraints of anxiety and OCD.
