I'm an open minded individual and welcome any topics in treatment
My work is grounded in behavioral therapy, and a firm belief that people can change. I prefer a flexible and collaborative approach that evolves as we work together. Though the foundation of my work is behavioral, I develop integrated treatment plans for each new client, drawing on other evidence-based modalities and new research.

I have over 30 years experience working in mental health counseling, and 10 1/2 years as a licensed provider. In that time, I have learned to use a variety of modalities.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Stockton
Finding OCD therapists in Stockton starts with knowing what to look for in a therapist’s training and approach. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, contamination fears, checking, ordering, reassurance seeking, or anxiety tied to specific obsessions. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a commonly used therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that specifically mention ERP, OCD, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, or related anxiety concerns.
Stockton has a range of mental health care options, though the number of local OCD specialized therapists may vary by availability and insurance. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you want to work with an ERP therapist near you while keeping scheduling flexible. It also helps to compare whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and lists OCD-specific experience beyond a general anxiety focus. Reading therapist bios can help you see whether they describe ERP training, session structure, and experience supporting people with obsessive thoughts and compulsions.
Therapy in Stockton can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer direct booking. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and schedule a free consultation when you’re ready.
