On the outside, you make success look easy, though it comes at a cost. You hide parts of yourself leaving you wrestling with overwhelm, anxiety, and self-esteem. You may even feel an internal polarity. My goal is to help alleviate the struggles and difficulties you've been carrying alone by providing a caring and welcoming space. Together, we will look at various parts of yourself and find what's not working, so new patterns can emerge by deepening insight and finding pragmatic solutions. I enjoy helping clients improve communication, understand emotions, and create a healthy relationship with themselves and others.

Anxiety, sadness, and stress can be immobilizing, and current world events seem overwhelming for many of us, leading to feelings of helplessness and despair. These emotions are normal reactions to abnormal times, but just knowing that isn't always enough. Most of us could use some extra support right now. Whether you need a nonjudgmental listener who can help you make sense of your feelings; someone to assist you in adding to your repertoire of effective coping mechanisms; or a coach who can illuminate, and gently push you to change, thought and behavior patterns that may be contributing to keeping you "stuck," therapy can help.

I am a trauma-informed licensed psychologist who has trained in cognitive-behavioral, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and relational psychodynamic approaches. As an integrative therapist, I attempt to tailor treatment to each individual's needs using relevant interventions and theories. In working interpersonally and collaboratively, we may explore one's individual history, identities/roles, family and cultural dynamics, strengths, values, and goals. Through individual and couples therapy, I enjoy working with adults who identify feeling stuck, lost, alone, misunderstood, frustrated, anxious, disconnected, indifferent, and depressed.

A strong client/therapist alliance has been shown to be one of the most important factors in healing by a large number of studies. I would be happy to offer a free consultation to see if we are a good fit and discuss how I can assist you on your journey towards greater life satisfaction. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families struggling with parenting. I offer highly structured trauma therapy based in desensitizing and reprocessing negative past events, but many clients prefer a looser structure, with a focus on finding meaning and building on natural supports and strengths.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists

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.
