Many Christians with OCD struggle with intrusive thoughts, excessive doubt, guilt, reassurance-seeking, compulsive prayer, repeated confession, or fear of displeasing God. What often looks like a spiritual problem may actually be OCD. OCD frequently targets the things we value most—including our faith.

I use evidence-based OCD treatment, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. For clients who desire it, we can thoughtfully integrate Christian beliefs and values into treatment. This may include:

• Understanding scrupulosity through both a clinical and faith-based lens

• Discussing how OCD impacts your relationship with God

• Addressing fears related to sin, salvation, morality, and doubt

• Exploring biblical themes such as grace, trust, and uncertainty

• Aligning treatment with your faith values
