I’ve been working in the OCD space for over 15 years. In my clinical psychology training, I was lucky to work with some esteemed OCD researchers & clinicians, and they introduced me to clinical work with a strong theoretical foundation. I saw the transformative impact that the right treatment could have on people’s lives.

​​​

I also witnessed how confusing and overwhelming it can be to find clear, reliable, evidence-based information, especially when you're already struggling. Excellent, freely available resources do exist… but most people simply don’t know where to find them, or need a gentle nudge to give them a go. 

​

It all began with emails. I’d send patients links to helpful websites, books, podcasts, and other tools. I started developing custom information sheets—first for my clients, and later for other clinicians who wanted to build their skills in OCD treatment. As email requests grew, and the resource list got longer, I wanted to create a space with everything in one place I could update regularly.

​​​

And that’s how OCD Online came to be.

​​​

This site is designed to bring together trusted, practical resources for people living with OCD—and for those who care about them. Whether you’re a person seeking help, a loved one trying to understand more, or a clinician wanting to deepen your knowledge, I hope you’ll find something here that points you in a helpful direction.

P.S. I'm always learning more in this space. If you come across a resource you think should be included, feel free to send it through—I'd be happy to take a look.

PPS. This is not a completely altruistic site - I promote my own group treatment program on here too :D
