Who this group is for

This therapy group is designed for individuals who experience Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and are seeking a supportive environment to share their experiences and learn effective coping strategies. Participants will benefit from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques, which are facilitated in a group setting to reduce feelings of isolation and shame commonly associated with OCD. Ideal candidates are those committed to engaging in the therapeutic process, open to sharing their experiences, and willing to support others in the group. This group is particularly beneficial for individuals who recognize the impact of OCD on their daily life and are motivated to explore and implement ERP strategies to manage their symptoms. It is important to note that this group may not be suitable for individuals currently experiencing severe OCD symptoms that significantly impair daily functioning, as they may require more intensive, individualized support.

What to expect

Clients participating in this therapy group can expect to develop a more effective approach to managing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Through shared experiences and guided exercises, participants will likely experience a reduction in the shame associated with OCD intrusive thoughts. The group setting will help normalize symptoms, thereby decreasing feelings of isolation. Members will enhance their utilization of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques, gaining practical skills to confront and manage OCD symptoms. Short-term benefits may include increased awareness and understanding of OCD, while long-term outcomes could involve sustained reduction in OCD symptoms and improved overall quality of life. The therapeutic process will involve emotional challenges and growth, fostering a supportive environment for lasting change.

My practice is uniquely positioned to serve residents of California, Maine, and PSYPACT participating states, offering evidence-based care via Telehealth, ensuring accessibility for those facing geographic or scheduling constraints.

My professional credentials include extensive training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These modalities are integral to treating OCD, Anxiety Disorders, Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders, and Somatic Symptom Disorders.

I have received formal training through the VA system, Family Justice Center, North County Lifeline, and San Clemente Psychological Services, which has equipped me with the skills to treat patients aged 10 years and older. My approach is collaborative and empowering, ensuring that each participant is actively involved in their treatment process and equipped with mindfulness, coping skills, and DBT techniques to facilitate lasting change.

In addition to traditional therapies, I incorporate innovative treatments such as Virtual Reality for exposure-based interventions, setting our group therapy apart with cutting-edge techniques. My commitment to ongoing professional development and personalized care ensures that each group session is tailored to meet the unique needs of its members.
