Facing OCD Together

You Are Not Alone
OCD can feel relentless. Intrusive thoughts, mental compulsions, and constant “what if” worries can take over your day, affect your relationships, and make it hard to enjoy life. Feeling guilt, shame, or anxiety about these thoughts is common—and it doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with you. Many people experience the same struggles and wonder if relief is even possible.

Understanding OCD and ERP
OCD can make you feel trapped in a cycle you don’t fully understand. Evidence-based treatment, like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), helps you face these thoughts safely without letting them control your actions. Through guided practice, you’ll learn practical strategies to reduce compulsions, manage anxiety, and reclaim your freedom—step by step.

A Safe, Supportive Approach
I specialize in OCD treatment here in Knoxville and have worked with many clients navigating intrusive thoughts. I know how isolating and exhausting OCD can feel. My approach combines ERP with supportive guidance tailored to your unique situation, so you can move forward at a pace that feels manageable and safe.
