My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has afforded me the opportunity to specialize in helping the OCD population for the last ten years.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked both privately, and in the nation's top healthcare companies. It is my goal to work collaboratively with each client to achieve his or her individual goals for treatment. I believe that true, lasting change arises from a solid working relationship between client and therapist. I make sure to spend time setting a solid foundation for treatment that will allow for effective therapeutic change. While mindful, Cognitive Behavior Therapy is my primary modality, I believe each client deserves the benefit of a holistic, integrative approach.

I have been counseling professionally since 1999 and offer my clients expertise in treating anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, and trauma, as well as creating more ease, safety, worthiness, and satisfying connections with others. I am a certified EMDR therapist & use EMDR to resolve traumatic or upsetting events from clients' pasts that continue to intrude into their present-day lives. I have trained in parts work (Internal Family Systems, ego state work, parts of self) since 2005, and use it to help people resolve inner conflicts that keep them stuck, and lower their automatic defenses that keep them isolated, angry or avoidant.

Mental health is equally important to address as our physical health. If we sustained a physical injury or developed a condition, obtaining appropriate treatment would allow for effective recovery and remission. Similarly, experiencing mental health symptoms can profoundly impact many aspects of our lives (e.g., functional impairment, emotional distress). Whether you are experiencing symptoms of a condition or struggling with life stressors, treatment can address these concerns and allow for effective and sustained recovery and management of distress.

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.
