I am a licensed professional counselor with a background working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have experience working with people struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anger management, codependency, and low self-esteem. I have worked with families with divorce and help with parenting. I am certified in Trauma Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Hypnotherapy. If you or your children find it challenging to adjust to changes in life, I might be able to help. My approach is Eclectic, as I believe is compatibility of theory with personality.

Seeking therapy can be an intimidating and vulnerable experience. However, it doesn't have to be a process that you go through alone. My role as a therapist is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings. I'm passionate about counseling because I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I value the collaborative nature of this relationship and together we can work in tandem to help achieve your goals. I believe the best outcomes are achieved through a trusting and empathetic relationship between a therapist and a client.

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.
