Who's in charge anyway?? When events or other people or you seem to be out of synch, maybe bouncing it off someone who is not in the situation with you is a good idea. I am a great listener and a proactive counselor.

Dr. Ochs, hypothesized that most Mental health issues stem from minor brain injuries (like playing soccer, or even minor head bumps). After working with LENS Neurofeedback I‘m convinced of the same. I have so much compassion for people who feel like they are stuck mentally, emotionally, and even physically, and are looking for an alternative way to regulate without medication.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health! Life can be stressful, unpredictable, chaotic, frustrating, and constantly throwing us curve balls. Sometimes we just need help processing our thoughts and feelings or making important life decisions. Other times, we may be struggling with mental illness, substance use, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, identity issues or other serious problems that are keeping us from living a happy and productive life. During these times, reaching out for help may feel scary or embarrassing.

I work with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, body image concerns, trauma, grief, stress, and burnout. Before I became a therapist, I spent nearly a decade as a professional musical theatre actor and director in New York City, which taught me the importance of exploring emotions, making creative connections, and listening with openness and curiosity. Now as a professional counselor, I utilize these skills to help people tap into their emotions and examine their own life stories to create meaningful, lasting change.

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.
