Treatment for OCD
(Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)
in Taylorsville, North Carolina
Helping you break the cycle of persistent worry, intrusive thoughts, fear, & obsessions so you can feel empowered & confident again.
Stress is at the heart of so many sleepless nights, lost opportunities, and failed relationships.
Worry can eat away at your self-esteem and cause you to feel like an imposter in your own life.
Even when you have a good support system, friends and family who love you, a pastor or mentor who thinks the world of you… when you feel like you don’t have it “all together” it can eat away at your happiness.
And the thing about worry is that it doesn’t magically go away. It will linger in your life until you learn the skills to cope with your unwelcome thoughts.
OCD can be even more persistent.
Both obsessions and compulsions are like an old friend...
only OCD is more like the friend who shows up uninvited and stays long after the party has ended.
Most people I talk to have had a mental tug-of-war with their thoughts for a very long time. Their OCD is sinister and sneaky. And their self-talk is vicious; instead of an inner voice that’s supportive & compassionate, their inner voices says things like:
“you’ll never get it right” or
“you messed up again” or
“you’ll never find a great job, loving partner, life-long friend” and worse.
OCD can rob you of your peace,
your perspective,
and the truth.
Instead of seeing yourself as a child of God, you see yourself as a failure, or worse, unlovable.
My question to you is:
if you saw this battle raging in your child’s life, how would you react?
One of the first steps in loving yourself is to see yourself the way God sees you.
And if you can’t yet feel that, consider how your best friend or closest confidant sees you.
The honest truth about who you are is what is taken from you when OCD rules over your thinking.
And this is what I can help you resolve.

What is OCD?
What is OCD?
It’s chronic, persistent worries about life and the people you love.
It’s feeling unable to “let things go” because there are unanswered questions, unmet needs or unmanaged consequences.
Many people feel stress in their bodies, so it’s also stomach pains, headaches, muscle and body aches that “arise” when you start thinking about something you’re worried about.
OCD is on a different level than general anxiety. OCD can include fixations, obsessions, and compulsions that are hard to manage. The cycle of obsessions & compulsions often requires your attention even when you know they are not helping you live a happy life.
OCD requires specialized skills and care to manage.
The good news is you can get to the heart of challenges like this in OCD treatment. I offer both in my Taylorsville therapy practice and online for those located in North Carolina.
OCD SPECIALIZATIONS
You’ve noticed that your stress goes too far. You are a helper and your intrusive thoughts & compulsions get in the way.
OCD can make you feel desperate and attacks the things you love most. Experience includes treating fear of vomiting (emetophobia), religious OCD (scrupulosity), relationship OCD, harm OCD, suicide OCD, and more.
Not all Christians are the same. We can talk about how your faith has helped or hurt you. This is a judgement-free zone.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR TEENS
Teenage girls experience a ton of challenges that can cause their worry to rise. From boys, to relationships, friendships and grades, going from being a girl to being a young woman is a big step. Many teens need support to navigate all that life brings their way. Unhelpful self-talk for girls has been on the rise for a long time, so if your daughter is having “sticky thoughts that don’t go away,” she’s certainly not alone and I can help her.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR WOMEN
Women, Moms, and college kids each have to bear the burden of adulthood and the many curve balls life can throw at them. Whether working full time, raising a family, enduring an empty nest or retirement, the role of being a woman has never had more opportunities and more challenges than it does today. And trying to anticipate the future is a natural reaction to prepare for what’s coming next. I can help you with this too.
