OCD & Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

​

Meghan has experience helping adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based treatment for OCD. ERP helps clients gradually face situations, thoughts or experiences that trigger obsessive fears while learning to reduce the compulsive behaviors and rituals that maintain the OCD cycle.

Meghan works collaboratively with clients to develop treatment goals and exposures that are individualized, manageable and relevant to their lives.

​

​Meghan's Approach to Therapy

​

Meghan believes therapy works best as a collaborative process. She creates a safe and supportive environment where clients can openly discuss difficult experiences while working toward realistic and meaningful goals. Meghan balances support with practical, evidence-based strategies, helping clients better understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop skills they can use outside of the therapy room.
