OCD and Trauma?

Hello Dr. Swartz,

I hope you might be able to point me in the right direction. I have, I believe, OCD, as I have some issues. For example, I have to flex my wrists and ankles if I see anyone bend their's, or I have to bend my own. I am having horrible aversion to sex,  sexual touching, kissing, etc. I had this under control for some time but now I can't seem to conquer it. I don't know what to do. I'm married and I have children. How do I find a local doctor who is qualified and experienced to help me? This is ruining my life. I suspect I endured some type of sexual violence as a child but don't remember much from childhood at all. I have very limited memories. What can I do??

Thank you for your time, C
