I have advance training in treating anxiety disorders and OCD.
Every marriage and partnership goes through ups and downs. However, some situations call for extra support from a trained couples counselor. Couples counseling can: improve communication and reduce conflict; bring back the spark when couples feel like "roommates"; blend families after remarriage; and, create amicable co-parenting during a divorce in order to minimize the impact on children. Pre-marital counseling helps new couples prepare for the future. Whatever brings you to couples counseling, my focus is always on the best interest of the relationship.

I am a psychologist specializing in ADHD assessment, career counseling, and CBT for anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and depression. Anxiety can feel both distressing and debilitating. If you have tried to manage your anxiety on your own and found that relief often feels temporary, with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or distressing memories eventually returning, an approach that addresses long-term symptom management could help. In therapy with me, we will work to build skills that can help you find lasting relief with therapies that are empirically proven to work, including CBT, PE, and ERP.

As a Diplomat with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I primarily use this approach. Similarly, I believe in the power of mindfulness and use this to bolster my CBT practice. I emphasize acceptance of emotions, not judging emotional experiences as being "bad," "good," "wrong," or "right." My underlying treatment goal is to work together in identifying thoughts, beliefs, and actions, to develop a greater awareness and to promote more intentional living. In addition, I incorporate a holistic approach also encouraging overall healthy living.

Feeling scared and constantly on edge after a life-threatening event? Does it seem like worries are taking over your life? Are you feeling burnt out taking care of others? Perhaps you are a therapist feeling out of touch with why you ever wanted to do this. Maybe others see you as successful, but you secretly fear you will fall short of expectations (especially your own). Worry, anxiety, PTSD, burnout, or perfectionism have gotten in the way of living the life you want. You’ve lost touch with the things that bring you a sense of meaning and purpose. It’s not just you. Everyone gets stuck. I am here to help.

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.
