I work with people who want to get more enjoyment from their busy lives and relationships. Juggling career and personal life is stressful and over time, can have a big physical and emotional impact. I help clients examine the patterns in their lives that may keep them from feeling their best. This can involve treatment with medication for depression, anxiety, ADD, insomnia or other conditions, and psychotherapy for those without need or desire for medications.

Not accepting new clients
Please note that I am not taking new patients at this time. Making the decision to get help can be difficult. My hope for you is that you can discover your own capacity to heal and grow. Change is possible, and therapy can be a powerful tool in facilitating this change. Every patient is unique, and each person has developed a strategy to handle the problems in their life. Many of these work well, while others may no longer be useful. New skills and perspectives may be needed to move forward. I encourage my clients to use therapy as a way to discover and build on their existing strengths.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Psychiatrists

How long does OCD treatment take?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?

Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?

Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?

Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
