Most OCD treatments focus on reducing obsessions and compulsions. While I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), I am also interested in understanding why a particular obsession or compulsion became necessary in the first place. OCD symptoms often emerge within the context of a person's emotional history, fears, relationships, personality dynamics, and attempts to manage uncertainty, guilt, responsibility, vulnerability, or distress. My approach combines symptom-focused work with deeper exploration, helping clients gradually reduce compulsions while developing insight into the emotional and psychological processes that maintain them. The goal is not only symptom relief, but a more meaningful and lasting understanding of oneself.
