Hello, I'm Kevin. An OCD and anxiety specialist. I implement evidence-based approaches for OCD like exposure and response prevention (ERP) and inference-based CBT—an exposure-free form of CBT developed specifically to treat OCD. But as we know, mental health challenges often don't arrive in tidy packages—I also welcome those with overlapping anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have extensive experience working with those in recovery from substance use disorders.
Here's what I've learned: we're often our own worst critics, undermining our attempts to live the kinds of lives we want. My job is to help you get out of your own way (and your head) and move toward living the kind of life you actually want. [More about my background →]
A Space for Real Change
While we use concrete, evidence-based tools like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the therapeutic journey is about much more than managing symptoms. True recovery happens in a safe, relational space—a place where you can be vulnerable and build the self-trust needed for lasting change.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) & CBT: The gold-standard treatment for OCD and severe anxiety. We use intentional exposure to break the power of fear and compulsions, combined with CBT principles to shift thinking patterns.
Compassion-Focused Methods: Alongside the active work of ERP, we build a kinder, more resilient relationship with yourself, empowering you to approach challenges with greater self-understanding and empathy.
Telehealth Across Ohio: All sessions are virtual, making specialized ERP more practical by allowing us to work in your real environment (home, office, etc.).
Insights on Change
Therapy and writing are two sides of the same coin: they both help us understand how the mind works. My essays explore the inner mechanics of OCD, anxiety, and overthinking—examining how fear loops sustain themselves, why certainty is so seductive, and the limits of insight alone.
I aim to bridge the gap between evidence-based science of change with lived, relatable experience. My goal is to transform these ideas into something you can embody and put into practice, not just think about.
Getting Started
Therapy isn't about silencing your thoughts—it's about learning a new way to relate to them and discovering that lasting healing happens in connection. Whether you're struggling with OCD, generalized anxiety, or the sheer exhaustion of overthinking, you don't have to navigate it alone. We offer a safe, reliable relationship where you can approach anxiety with courage and build the self-trust needed for meaningful change.
That journey begins by taking that first, small step toward specialized help.
