Purpose
Honestly OCD exists to help people make sense of experiences they have been too ashamed to talk about.
For many people, OCD is far more than being organized or liking things a certain way. It can involve terrifying intrusive thoughts, disturbing images, unwanted urges, overwhelming doubt, intense guilt, intrusive sensations, and relentless mental rituals that are often misunderstood—even by the people experiencing them.
Too many people live in silence,
Convinced they are alone or afraid that if they tell someone what is happening in their mind, they will be judged, misunderstood, or seen as dangerous. Many spend years searching for answers before discovering that what they have been experiencing has a name.
Honestly OCD was created to change that.
Through honest storytelling, lived experience, and evidence-informed psychoeducation, my goal is to help make OCD make sense. I want to translate the often confusing, invisible experience of OCD into language that people living with it, their loved ones, and helping professionals can better understand.
Registered Clinical Counsellor
As both a BC Registered Clinical Counsellor and someone with lived experience of OCD, I share from the intersection of professional knowledge and personal experience. My hope is that by speaking openly about topics that are often hidden, we can reduce stigma, encourage earlier recognition, and help people feel less alone.
