Exciting news! I am now offering Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD.
OCD is much more than wanting things to be neat or organized. It involves unwanted thoughts, images, urges, or doubts that create significant anxiety. To cope with that anxiety, people often engage in compulsions or rituals that provide temporary relief but ultimately keep OCD going.
ERP is considered the gold standard treatment for OCD. It helps people gradually face their fears while learning not to respond with compulsions. Over time, this teaches the brain that anxiety can be tolerated and that OCD does not have to be in control.
ERP is effective for many forms of OCD, including contamination fears, checking, intrusive thoughts, relationship OCD, health anxiety, scrupulosity, and perfectionism.
