WHERE THE WAVES MEET CALM
Specialist Therapy for OCD and Related Disorders
Hi there, and welcome.
The reason I created this website is simple: I want people living with OCD to know they’re not alone. There are trained professionals who understand this condition deeply, and there are therapies that truly work.
On these pages, I’ll introduce myself and the work I do, unpack what OCD really is, and explain why treatments like CBT and ERP are so effective.
You can share this information with your loved ones too; sometimes understanding is the first step toward healing.
By the time you finish exploring, I hope you’ll feel informed, hopeful, and ready to take the next step toward recovery.
With love and compassion,
