Break free from intrusive thoughts
OCD Therapy in Chapel Hill, NC
Sound like you?
That new planner didn’t fix it, did it?
You’re the kind of person everyone counts on. No matter what you’re battling inside, you make sure no one sees it. On the outside, you’re capable, dependable, and driven.
But underneath, you’re exhausted.
Your brain is always running replaying conversations, double-checking emails, rewriting to-do lists. You push yourself harder than anyone else, yet it never feels like enough.
You keep telling yourself that if you could just get more organized, stay more focused, or find the “right” system, life would finally feel manageable. But instead, you end up with six notebooks, three planners, and a dozen color-coded post-its, and still feel like you’re falling behind.
Even the idea of taking PTO feels impossible. When was the last time you took time off without being sick? Rest doesn’t come easy—because even in downtime, your mind is already working on the next list, the next project, the next demand.
Sacrifice has become your default. And while everyone else sees your success, inside you feel stuck in a cycle you can’t escape.
You don’t have to keep doing this on your own.
I’m here for you.
Living with OCD can feel isolating. You might worry that no one else thinks this way, or that if people knew what was really going on in your mind, they wouldn’t understand. But you don’t have to keep carrying this alone. Therapy is a place where we can sort through the racing thoughts, quiet the constant pressure, and find new ways to cope that don’t leave you feeling drained.
How I can help
Therapy for OCD can help you find freedom, balance, and energy for the life you want
My approach to OCD therapy is collaborative and practical. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that keep you stuck—whether it’s the overthinking, the checking, or the endless lists—and replace them with tools that actually give you space to breathe. We’ll focus on helping you:
Recognize when OCD is pulling you into the cycle
Practice strategies to step out of compulsions without being overwhelmed
Rebuild trust in yourself and your ability to handle uncertainty
Create more balance—so your time and energy go toward what really matters to you
OCD is treatable, and change is possible. With the right support, you can learn to quiet the noise, regain a sense of control, and move forward with more freedom.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help you feel calmer, more focused, and more in control of your time and energy
Therapy is about more than just managing symptoms—it’s about helping you live in a way that feels freer and more sustainable. Together, we’ll practice tools that make space between you and OCD, so you can respond differently when the urge to check, plan, or push yourself shows up. Over time, you’ll be able to redirect your focus toward what really matters, instead of feeling trapped by what your mind demands.

Frequently asked questions —
-
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is OCD. My approach is eclectic and holistic—I draw from different evidence-based methods depending on what feels most helpful, aligned, and sustainable for you. This might include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, or IFS (Internal Family Systems). Together, we’ll find the tools that resonate best with you and your goals.
-
OCD can show up in many different ways—through intrusive thoughts, constant checking, endless list-making, perfectionism, or even worries that feel “random” but won’t let go. No matter what form it takes, therapy can help you step out of the cycle, learn to respond differently to those urges, and regain your energy for the things that matter most.

That depends on you, your goals, and your unique experiences. Some people notice shifts after just a few weeks, while others choose to work longer-term for deeper change. In our work together, we’ll go at a pace that feels safe and sustainable for you.
