About

You're here looking for a couples therapist, but you specifically want someone highly skilled in OCD treatment.

Your relationship has likely always carried some pain because of OCD. You may have already done individual OCD treatment, but that work doesn't automatically fix the relationship. Maybe your intrusive thoughts got better, only to come back. Or maybe the relationship was already deeply damaged by the experience.

You may also struggle to tell what's a "real" issue and what's an "OCD" issue. You think staying quiet on issues is the right thing to do for your OCD. But silence just leaves more pain and less love. What you actually want is a deep, heartfelt bond with honest communication with the person you love.

If you have children, or want them, OCD has probably touched your parenting too. You may be miserable during pregnancy because of intrusive thoughts. Or maybe you've recently had a baby and are struggling to bond because of intrusive thoughts that you feel afraid to share. Parenting should bring the two of you together but now this challenge is pushing you further apart.

Whether it's repetitive fears about harm, doubts about your relationship or a perinatal/postpartum OCD experience that caught you both off guard, the cycle of anxiety and compulsions can suffocate love.

As a couple, you have to learn to navigate OCD together. I'm here to partner with you in building a relationship where you can thrive: to heal the damage OCD has done, to set loving boundaries with OCD, and to reconnect emotionally.

You can make decisions together, parent together, and live fully, without OCD running the show.

I look forward to meeting you.
