OCD Therapy in Massachusetts & Rhode Island

Find relief from intrusive thoughts and compulsions with proven approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Are you feeling stuck in an endless loop of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors?

Maybe you spend hours each day checking, cleaning, counting, or replaying scenarios in your mind — yet the relief never lasts.


Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can feel exhausting. It can steal your time, interrupt your focus at work or school, and create distance in your relationships. Even when part of you knows your fears might not make sense, they still feel very real and overwhelming.

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of OCD in every part of your life:

  • Feeling gripped by fear and intrusive thoughts throughout the day
  • Losing time to compulsions like checking, cleaning, googling, or mental reviewing, leaving little room for rest or joy
  • Strained relationships as loved ones feel pulled into your rituals or unsure how to help
  • Struggling to focus at work or school because your mind is always preoccupied with “what ifs”

You may be here because you’re tired of OCD calling the shots. You want to feel calmer, more in control, and able to enjoy life without constant worry or rituals.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder doesn’t have to define your life.

With specialized OCD therapy, you can learn to manage intrusive thoughts, break free from compulsions, and feel more present and confident in your life.

Together, we’ll focus on practical, evidence-based strategies designed to give you lasting results. My goal is not just to help you cope, but to help you create real change.

In therapy, I’ll help you:

  • Understand how OCD works and why it keeps you stuck.
  • Break the cycle of compulsions and avoidance.
  • Respond differently to intrusive thoughts so they lose their power.
  • Build confidence in facing fears and reclaiming your time.

I specialize in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD treatment. I may also integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) if trauma or painful past experiences are part of what’s fueling your symptoms. This approach helps us address both the OCD patterns and the deeper roots behind them.

Whether through virtual therapy sessions across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, or in-person therapy in North Attleboro, MA, we’ll create a plan that works for your life.

You don’t have to spend your life battling OCD alone.

With the right support and tools, freedom is possible. Therapy can help you move from fear and rituals to clarity and calm.

Let’s find a format that works for your life so you can take the next step forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to share all the details of my intrusive thoughts?

No. Many people with OCD worry that their thoughts are “too strange” or “too dark” to say out loud. Part of OCD’s nature is that it latches onto things that feel especially upsetting to you. In therapy, you don’t have to go into every detail if you don’t want to. We focus on how your mind responds to the thoughts, not on judging or analyzing them.

How long does OCD therapy take?

It depends on your unique situation, but with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), many clients notice improvements within weeks or months. The pace is collaborative. We’ll move step by step so you feel supported, not overwhelmed. My goal is to help you make steady progress and build tools you can use for the long term.

Is OCD therapy just learning to cope, or will I actually get better?

Therapy for OCD is much more than just “coping.” ERP and related approaches are designed to change the way your brain responds to intrusive thoughts. Instead of being stuck in the cycle of anxiety and compulsions, you’ll learn how to break free and respond in healthier ways. This is how lasting change happens.

What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work?

This is a common concern. Not all therapy approaches work well for OCD, which is why specialized treatment like ERP makes such a difference. If past therapy felt like endless talking without real change, know that OCD treatment is different. It’s active, structured, and focused on helping you break the cycle — not just understand it.
