About

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

I specialise in treating the intersection of OCD and relationships.

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. You could be seeing signs that your relationship has been deeply damaged by the experience.

You crave a deep, heartfelt bond and honest communication with the person you love. But you struggle to tell a "real" issue from an "OCD" issue. You think staying quiet on doubts is the right thing to do for your OCD. But silence just leaves more pain and less love.

You thought parenthood would bring you closer, but instead OCD has pushed you further apart. 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 postpartum OCD. This may have impacted your relationship with older children, where the unchecked cycle of anxiety has caused your kids to also be anxious or emotionally explosive.

OCD can make love, marriage and family so much harder. 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.

I'm here to partner with you in building a relationship where you can finally feel peace. I can help you lovingly navigate OCD as a couple.

You can rebuild trust, parent with harmony and reclaim your romantic connection without OCD running the show. Heal the damage OCD has done, set loving boundaries with OCD, and build a beautiful life together.

I look forward to meeting you.
