About

You're looking for a couples therapist, but not just any couples therapist — you need someone who actually understands OCD.

I specialize in exactly that intersection: OCD and relationships.

Maybe you've already done individual OCD treatment, and it helped, until it didn't. The intrusive thoughts eased, then crept back. Or the symptoms are technically better, but the damage to your relationship never got addressed, because individual treatment was never built to touch that part.

You want a real, honest connection with the person you love. But you can't always tell a real issue from an OCD issue anymore. You've convinced yourself that staying quiet about your doubts is protecting the relationship. It isn't. Silence doesn't protect love. It just starves it.

You hoped parenthood would bring you closer. Instead, OCD pulled you apart. Maybe pregnancy has been miserable, hijacked by intrusive thoughts you can't say out loud.

Maybe you just had a baby and postpartum OCD is making it hard to bond with them the way you expected to. Maybe this has been going on long enough that your older kids have absorbed the anxiety too, and now they're anxious, or exploding, in ways that started at home.

OCD makes love, marriage, and family so much harder than they need to be. Whether it's fears about harm, doubt about the relationship itself, or a perinatal experience that blindsided you both, the cycle of anxiety and compulsions can quietly suffocate love.

I'm here to help you build a relationship where peace is actually possible again. I'll help you navigate OCD together, as a couple, not as two people managing it alone.

You can rebuild trust. You can parent in harmony instead of tension. You can reclaim the romantic connection you had before OCD started running the show. Heal what OCD has damaged. Set real boundaries with it. Build the life together you actually wanted.

I look forward to meeting you.
