Licensed Therapist, LMFT
About
My approach to OCD therapy is patient, kind, and fun, without shame. I love seeing members show progress, witnessing their excitement, and celebrating their wins. OCD is highly treatable, and I've seen firsthand that ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) works for most people. You can do this! There is no shame in getting help. My other areas of focus include substance abuse, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and faith-based therapy.

Andre is an excellent therapist that goes above and beyond. He really listens and explains the different techniques well. Today he taught me downward arrow ,ACT, and habituation so I understood it. I love that he is flexible and willing to help me with my GAD and other problems that may arise.

With his support I was able to overcome the debilitating battle with OCD. He uses humor and creates such a safe and welcoming environment to support in breaking the pattern and cycle of OCD. I am done with treatment now and can say that with his support my life is mine again and I am enjoying it to the fullest. Such a weight has been lifted now that I don't have to deal with the hours that OCD was taking from me each day.

Andre helped me in more ways than I was aware of at the time. I went into therapy a very scared person and Andre helped me face many of my fears and find a new way of living in the world.

Andre is very knowledgable in both OCD and GAD. It is easy to talk to him, and I feel comfortable sharing my obsessions and compulsions. I know I will be making progress with him as my therapist.

Andre has worked with me for the last couple of months and it's been remarkable the difference ERP has made for me. It's a tool and method that we should all know, and for me Andre has been a great teacher of the method. I have suffered from ROCD since I was a teenager. it kept me from dating anyone until I met my wife and it has been a burden on my marriage and my wonderful and very faithful wife who has been with me for 20 years. One of the main struggles for me has been from intrusive thoughts about her with other men. I've always know these thoughts were unreasonable and crazy but they have scared me severely, off and on for 20 years and often have overtaken my life. I honestly thought that was a pain I would keep with me until I died, but it is gone now. My brain now reacts and thinks about these things differently and it is a huge relief. I can't thank Andre enough.
