If you're an adult or teen in Washington state suffering from OCD, I would love to hear from you! I specialize in treating OCD, and I am especially skilled in treating “rumination as a compulsion”—mental compulsions that are not visible to anyone else. I offer Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), and Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), all of which are scientifically effective in treating OCD. I-CBT has been described as profound and a “game-changer.” This compassionate and effective psychotherapy has been changing lives in Canada and Europe for over 20 years.

Finally, we have a science-backed option that targets what so many others miss! Exposures aren’t necessary . . . but they are optional. You deserve a life without torment from obsessional doubts and it's my passion to help you get there! My practice is fully dedicated to treating OCD, but I offer EMDR therapy if you also suffer from grief and trauma.
My personal lived experience and recovery from OCD help me support others with understanding and non-judgment. I'm a queer, neurodivergent, and affirming therapist with an anti-oppression approach. I look forward to joining you in your recovery from OCD. It is possible and there is hope! Visit www.OlympicOCD.com to schedule your consultation.
