Rise. Heal. Be Empowered.

You don't have to settle for a life limited by anxiety.

​
Hello, I'm Sandra, a licensed therapist and specialist for OCD & Anxiety.
​
I saw my first case of "Pure O" in 2005. Since then,
I have been passionate about helping clients recover from
OCD and Anxiety disorders. I have been trained by the
International OCD Foundation and opened my private
practice in 2007. OCD and anxiety disorders are highly
treatable with specific types of therapy modalities such
as ERP, CBT and ACT. I may use supplemental treatments
such as Rumination-Focused ERP, Hypnotherapy
and Mega Cognitive Therapy based on individual needs.
What I know is that it is hard to treat OCD on your own.
OCD and anxiety need to be saturated in order to
dismantle the disorder.
That's why my sessions include a gratis 15-minute
mid-session phone call, to keep the progress going.
Using this approach often reduces the time of treatment
and you can get better, faster.
Seeing a private specialist who can provide more
personalized care helps you to level up your treatment.
In the long run, you can save time and money.
