Hi, I’m Matt, a Certified Peer Support Specialist and advocate for Classic and Visual Tourettic OCD. I am also a Grassroots Advocate with the International OCD Foundation.
I have had lived experience of OCD since adulencence and was diagnosed in 2022. I have experienced multiple themes of OCD in my lifetime but was hit most severely with a subtype theme called Visual Tourettic OCD in 2022.
With seeking professional help, finding a game changing OCD organisation called the International OCD Foundation, connecting with the amazing OCD community, being empowered by inspirational IOCDF Advocates and empowerment trailblazers Relationship Renegades I reclaimed my life back.
Now living in full remission with recovery from OCD I am incredibly passionate with advocacy and Peer Support sharing hope, belief, empathy, empowerment, encouragement, inspiration, mutuality, resources and validation.
To let others know that you are not alone and you can overcome any challenge or adversity that comes in your way. I have been trained and certified by Intentional Peer Support and Recovery International to provide the best peer support service I can offer to all.
I’m looking forward to connecting with you, walking along side you and kicking OCD/anxieties butt together every step of the way!
