Virtual, evidence-based OCD therapy for women in Florida, Texas, and Virginia, who are ready to begin a transformative journey, where treatment becomes the pathway to greater relief and more freedom to be the you that you want to be.
It is not just the thoughts. It is the checking, the confessing, the reassurance-seeking, the mental loops that start over the second you think you have finally resolved them. You have probably become very good at managing it on the outside. Showing up, delivering, holding it together. And you are tired. The good news is that OCD responds exceptionally well to the right treatment, and there are evidence-based approaches we can use as I walk with you on that path.
People seek OCD treatment for many reasons. You may benefit from therapy if you are experiencing:
The goal is not to become a completely different person or never have an intrusive thought again. It is helping you spend less time negotiating with your brain and more time actually living your life. Less checking. Less spiraling. Less mental gymnastics at 11 PM. More confidence, flexibility, connection, and freedom to show up as yourself again.
The first few sessions are not about diving into treatment. They are about understanding your whole ecosystem, your OCD, yes, but also your job, your relationships, your support system, and your stress. From there we move into structured I-CBT modules, worked through together with real homework in between. Sessions are purposeful, always moving toward something, and occasionally funny. Because I genuinely do not think the work has to feel like a second job to actually work.
Most clients reach minimal to mild symptoms and graduate from therapy within one to two years. The checking quiets. The loops slow down. The reassurance-seeking that used to run your relationships loses most of its grip. You start making decisions and actually believing them. You show up at work, with the people you love, and in your own life without your OCD calling the shots. That is what we are building toward from session one and it is completely real.
A cognitive, module-based approach to OCD that works by addressing how the brain creates obsessional doubt in the first place. No exposure exercises. Backed by decades of research. The primary approach used in this practice.
Used selectively for residual OCD symptoms after I-CBT modules are complete. Not the first line of treatment here and never the starting point, but available as a tool when it is the right fit for what remains.
The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale is used in early sessions to map the full picture of your OCD symptoms, including themes and compulsions you may not have connected to OCD yet. It helps build a treatment plan that actually reflects what you are carrying.
The Inferential Confusion Questionnaire is completed before your first session and helps establish a baseline for treatment. It measures the specific kind of doubt-creating thinking that drives OCD so we can track how it changes over time.
You got here by doing what you always do, figuring things out on your own. The consultation is just a conversation. No pressure, no commitment, no intake forms. Just 15 minutes to see if working together makes sense. I am genuinely interested to hear what has been going on.
OCD is a cycle of obsessions, which are unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges, and compulsions, which are the behaviors or mental acts you do to try to neutralize or resolve them. It shows up differently for everyone. Some people have visible rituals like checking or counting. Others have entirely internal compulsions like reassurance-seeking, mental reviewing, or confessing. If the cycle is taking up significant time or interfering with your ability to live your life, it is worth talking to someone who specializes in it.
OCD shows up differently for everyone. Here is where this work meets you.
All OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) themes including harm, contamination, checking, symmetry, and relationship OCD, treated with specificity and depth.
When OCD brings anxiety and low mood along with it, treatment addresses all of it, not just the most visible part.
When a major chapter, grad school, a career shift, a move, brings your symptoms loudly to the surface.
The reassurance-seeking and worry that follow you into the relationships you care most about.
Unwanted, repetitive thoughts that feel alarming but do not reflect who you actually are at all.
The second-guessing and mental loops that follow high-achieving women straight into the workplace every single day.
I built this practice to help women move from “holding it together” to living in their power. I work with high-achieving, professional women, typically in their 20s through 40s – those who are hitting every mark on the outside while running on fumes internally. Our work together is collaborative, evidence-based, and deeply human, complete with the humor that makes hard work sustainable.
The Approach: We use a structured treatment plan with tangible goals. My mission from session one is to make myself unnecessary by giving you the tools to become your own expert.
A True Partnership: If you’ve been looking for a therapist who is as invested in your results as you are, you’ve found her.
I’m really glad you did.
Early sessions focus on understanding the full picture of your life, including your symptoms, relationships, stressors, routines, support system, and the patterns impacting your mental health.
Together, we will work through a structured treatment process designed to reduce your OCD symptoms, build insight, and help you respond differently to your intrusive thoughts.
This is the ultimate goal: a life that actually feels like yours again. You begin to trust yourself, your own senses and move forward with increased confidence.
No. Many clients come in with a strong sense that OCD is what they are dealing with but no formal diagnosis. The assessment process in early sessions helps clarify the picture and guides the treatment plan from there.
ERP works by having you confront triggers and tolerate the distress until it passes. It is effective but it is also hard, and many people find it too overwhelming to continue or too scary to start. I-CBT works differently. It addresses how the brain creates obsessional doubt in the first place through a cognitive, module-based process with no exposure exercises. Same research-backed results, gentler route.
In Florida, several major insurance plans are accepted. In Texas, insurance is also accepted depending on your plan. In Virginia, all sessions are private pay. Private pay means no insurance company gets to weigh in on your diagnosis, your treatment plan, or your timeline. It is just you and your therapist working toward your actual goals. Not sure what your plan covers? Reach out and we can figure it out together.
Most clients working through I-CBT reach minimal to mild symptoms within one to two years and graduate from therapy at that point. This is not open-ended treatment. There is a real process, real milestones, and a goal from session one of getting you to the other side of this.
That is one of the most common things new clients share. I-CBT was developed in part for exactly this reason. If ERP was too distressing to continue or too overwhelming to start, I-CBT is usually a very different experience. It is worth a conversation.
