I have experience with mood disorders, grief, OCD, relationship issues, identity issues, substance misuse, trauma, and more.
It's true that our Comfort Zones are wonderful places that keep us safe...but growth cannot occur there. My ideal client is willing to work on finding the strength within themselves to step outside of their Comfort Zones. I believe this allows one to create small changes that add up to big changes in their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. My focus with my clients will always be progress over perfection and to build self-love and self-compassion above all. I enjoy taking a direct yet compassionate approach, utilizing humor, education, and the power that already exists within us.

There are so many ways trauma can come into our lives: abuse, death, divorce, infertility, miscarriage, and through losses of a loved one, a job, our security, or our stability. As humans, we are all susceptible to traumatic experiences and the ways they impact our bodies. But there is HOPE! I am confident that much healing comes from the experience of the therapeutic relationship, one of trust, encouragement, non-judgment, and professionalism. As I have done for so many clients in my career, let me walk alongside you and assist you on your personal path to healing.

My approach to therapy is that every client is different and has unique experiences and needs. Sometimes current life experiences such as school, work, and family dynamics can be stressful. Sometimes it is traumatic experiences from the past that impact people in the present. I can help people of all ages (children, teens, and adults) develop an understanding of their experiences and learn coping skills for the present. I work with people who have experienced trauma and loss including challenges regarding divorce, adoption, and abuse.

The human experience is different for everyone. My clients are busy managing hectic lives. Work, school, kids, past traumas, physical ailments, mental health issues- such as depression, anxiety, ADD, etc. Most don’t have the time to process or sort through major life events when they happen, causing a feeling of disarray. Many feel “off track” and simply want to get back to a state of normal functioning. I like to talk to my clients about their personal needs and goals. My job is to help hold you accountable and call you out when you’re slipping back into old habits or behaviors.

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.
