I work with adolescents and adults in a variety of areas such as anxiety, OCD, phobias, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationships, and transitions.
Empathy, authenticity, unconditional support, and respect are the cornerstone values that shape my practice. It's important to me that you have a space where you feel safe, valued, and empowered to the make the decisions that feel right to you. I believe each of us possesses an innate inner strength capable of overcoming any obstacle and changing any circumstance - sometimes we just need a little extra support and a fresh perspective. Together we can chart a path forward that will lead you towards emerging from these challenges stronger and wiser than ever.

For OCD and anxiety; CBT, ERP, ACT, and stress management techniques help to eliminate or decrease symptoms.
I am a Trauma, (PTSD) and OCD therapist with over 35 years of experience treating adults. I am passionate in my resolve to help my patients end their suffering from trauma, anxiety and OCD. Often times, these individuals have worked diligently in other types of therapy without achieving symptom relief. In my experience and according to current research, it appears that unresolved memories of trauma, neglect, emotional and/or physical abuse, contribute to underlying causes for chronic depression, emotional or physical pain. I take pride on being up to date on the current mind-body focus on overall wellness

In my therapy room, YOU guide the direction for our sessions. You’ll have a safe and judgment-free space to open up about things you wouldn’t discuss with even your closest friends. Common topics of exploration include life history, attachments, survival mechanisms, biology, and intergenerational trauma. We will also discuss daily stressors and develop coping skills. I use an integrative approach mostly using the following modalities to guide sessions: psychodynamic, IFS, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral, biological and mindfulness. I received a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Wayne State University.

In a confidential, safe, and private setting, we focus on your present predicaments and stress, your family history, and the course of your problems to map effective treatments. Psychological therapy helps you begin to acknowledge and understand the sources of your emotional distress, enhance your coping strategies, and recognize the breadth of your strengths. With increased knowledge and emotional learning, you not only put your life into a more coherent perspective, but you also learn to face life-predicaments with acceptance, flexibility, courage, tolerance, and the ability to take responsibility for your actions. I refer to physician colleagues for pharmacotherapy to treat biological vulnerabilities such as major depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD. Pharmacotherapy is sometimes an important component of effective psychological therapy.

Seeking therapy is a big step. I understand that making the leap towards a therapy journey can be a daunting and courageous decision. As a therapist, I strive to create a comfortable environment where you can freely discuss any topic without fear of judgement. The "why" behind each individual's decision to seek therapy may differ from person to person - but I will always strive to be open-minded, understanding, empathetic, and ensure that therapy is consistently a safe space for you. My main goal is to establish a space where you feel safe to share personal thoughts, issues, and concerns so that we can work through them together.

Life is unexpected and full of unknowns. Familial, relational, and societal (among others) pressures are demanding and seem like they will never end. This is stressful and may cause you to feel depressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and negative about your past, present, and future. You may feel like you have nobody to turn to or to ask for help. Do you feel like you're carrying a burden, beating yourself up, or overthinking?

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.
