Get Relief from Intrusive Thoughts, Anxiety, and Compulsions
OCD Therapy in Lakeland, Florida (ERP)
Living with OCD can feel exhausting especially when intrusive thoughts, urges, or rituals begin to take over your day. You might find yourself stuck in “what if” spirals, seeking reassurance, avoiding triggers, or feeling overwhelmed by thoughts you don’t want and didn’t ask for. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. OCD IS TREATABLE, and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is one of the most effective, research-supported approaches available.
My style blends evidence-based treatment with warmth, humor, and deep compassion. I draw from:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
IFS-informed support for shame + self-criticism
Trauma-informed care
You’ll never be pushed into anything you’re not ready for. ERP is a collaborative process where your safety and agency matter.
My Approach to Treating OCD
OCD therapy with me is structured, compassionate, and collaborative. Together, we will work toward helping you:
Understand how OCD works in the brain
Reduce avoidance, rituals, and mental compulsions
Learn to tolerate uncertainty and discomfort
Build confidence in your ability to handle anxiety
Unhook from intrusive thoughts using ERP, ACT, and mindfulness
Strengthen self-compassion and inner safety
I’ve worked with individuals experiencing contamination fears, scrupulosity, harm OCD, relationship OCD, sexual intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, identity fears, and more. No thought or fear is too “strange,” “taboo,” or “embarrassing” for therapy truly.
What OCD Therapy Looks Like
My approach might be you if you’re experiencing:
Intrusive thoughts that feel disturbing or unwanted
Constant worry about harm, contamination, or morality
Repetitive checking, counting, cleaning, or mental reviewing
Fear of making a mistake or being a “bad” person
Reassurance seeking from others or from your own mind
Avoidance of triggers, places, or situations
Feeling controlled by anxiety or compulsions
