English
| Français Do you want your life back? Intrusive thoughts, images, urges and behaviours alongside overwhelming anxiety can leave many people suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) wondering whether things will ever be different. You may have struggled for years with thoughts that you can't tell anyone about because they're so disturbing and culturally taboo. You might even wonder whether you have OCD at all, leading you to doubt yourself so severely that depression has also become part of your everyday.
I’m specialized in tailoring exposure and response prevention (ERP) for clients who are experiencing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) such as intrusive thoughts and images, avoidance, and compulsive/safety-seeking behaviours. While ERP is hard work, you don't have to do it alone. We'll work together to take your life back.
My approach is based on compassionate direct communication. I consider awareness to be an important vehicle for positive individual change and agency in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship while acknowledging the multiple systemic factors that impact us as individuals and collectively. Ketamine-assisted-psychotherapy is available in-person only.

Groups
Online OCD Support Group
The OCD Support Group is a small group of male and female adults that have struggled with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or a similar issue. It focuses on issues that can be barriers to treatment progress, such as feelings of isolation, loneliness, social withdrawal, stress, family and relationship discord, untrustworthiness, lack of motivation, difficulty making decisions, and being overwhelmed. This group enables members to recognize that they are not alone with experiencing these issues and begin to build rapport with others and learn healthy coping strategies to feel more empowered in their lives and improve work and social relationships.
