On the outside it looks like you have it all together, but inside you're engaged in a constant struggle for control. Your anxiety, OCD, and/or eating disorder has taken over your life. You find yourself in a constant loop of feeling worried, nervous, stressed and at times not good enough, thin enough, or smart enough. You’re stuck and unable to find the relief that you crave, so you try temporary fixes. Sometimes you disconnect and avoid people and your responsibilities, sometimes you binge, sometimes you purge, and sometimes you try to use anything that will distract your mind. You find, however, that your mind just wont turn off.

I have specialized in working with Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders since the late 1990's and have worked with hundreds of patients, trained other professionals all over the US, and published a range of books on optimal OCD treatment ("The OCD Meditation Book"; "The ERP Cure"). OCD is the result of miscalibrated circuitry in the brain that should be looking for danger, but for those of us with OCD is looking for perfection which it can never find. Having OCD myself I will be able to more quickly understand the way your OCD works and develop a specially tailored plan to get your brain working better.

I’m passionate about working with folks who could use support in approaching their emotions, navigating anxiety, moving through depression, struggling against obsessive compulsive disorders or eating disorders, and processing trauma.
The world we live in does not provide a whole lot of time and space for reflection or processing. It often feels like we must continue in our day-to-day lives without acknowledging the hurt, fear, anxiety- even the joy that shows up. But those experiences need to be heard, and they can tell us valuable information about how to live a more fulfilling life. Although it can be counter-cultural to practice awareness, live intentionally, and move forward in a way that aligns with your values, I want to support you in creating a journey that is both authentic and enjoyable.

I provide Cognitive Behavior Therapy including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for the treatment of OCD & anxiety. This approach helps you identify triggers (like negative intrusive thoughts or stressful situations) which create discomfort. This anxiety leads to behaviors such as avoidance or compulsions. CBT/ACT helps you break this ruminative cycle. I can also help you learn healthier coping strategies to be more effective interpersonally, more efficient with your time, appropriately regulate mood swings, tolerate painful emotions and decrease self-sabotaging behaviors.

I have ten years of experience working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, women's issues, and perfectionism. At times, the pressure to be perfect and have it all together may leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or the world around you. If you or a loved one are feeling overwhelmed with towering expectations, unhelpful behaviors, and moments of emotional distress, you no longer have to suffer in silence.

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.
