I'm qualified to help with many challenges; however, I specialize in using trauma-informed techniques like somatic therapy, EMDR, & IFS to help with CPTSD, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and grief.
Feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling to change? Do you know in your mind what you need to do but can't seem to change your pattern? Are you struggling to focus, stay present, or be productive? Maybe little things feel more frustrating, tense, or stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is to listen without judgment, help you understand the root causes of your issues, and teach you practical tools to change your life.

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in treating Anxiety and OCD & Phobias in adults and teens, with a secondary focus on helping couples especially those struggling to recover from infidelity.
You long to wake up in the morning less anxious and depressed, or you're just feeling stressed-out and stuck. Maybe pain from infidelity consumes you but you want to fix what's broken rather than throwing in the towel. Deep down, you want to feel excited about your life and I want that for you too. I can help you untangle the knotted threads of your life and create something beautiful. If you've tried therapy before but felt something was missing (maybe too much listening and not enough tools or direction), let's do it differently this time so you have both the knowledge & insights but also the skills to create your best life.

It seems like everyone else has it all together when you struggle to get even one thing right. Past hurts and disappointments remind you every day that you are lacking. You feel even more helpless when you try to get out of this mentality of lack and nothing works. Reminders on social media, along with family and friends, keep telling you that you don’t measure up. You’re exhausted and overwhelmed from even trying. “Why does it have to be so hard?” you wonder. You see the statement "You are enough" written everywhere, from notebooks to pictures on the wall. Even though you want to believe it, deep inside, you can't.

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.
