There is a great deal of power in knowing oneself. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds, however, they each bring with them a desire to overcome challenges that have prevented them from moving forward in life. What I offer are evidence based solutions that provide my clients with greater insight into their own minds and provide strategies to overcome the challenges that they face. Whether the challenge is an issue such as anxiety or OCD, or it is related to trauma or relational difficulties, I can help bring understanding and clarity to ultimately put more power for change in the hands of my clients.

My favorite part about treating OCD is watching my clients transform from fearful to feisty.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant chatter in your mind? The “what-ifs” and worst-case scenarios can be really draining. Let’s break that cycle of anxious thoughts and start focusing on choices that bring more joy into your life. Our daily decisions shape our lives, so let’s think about whether you’re making choices based on fear or on what truly matters to you. As an OCD specialist, I believe in building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients right from the start. We’ll work together in a collaborative and supportive way throughout the therapy process, focusing on what works best for you.

Life brings many unexpected and sometimes very difficult challenges. Change and transition can be uncomfortable and painful, particularly when it is not what we want or envision. Through therapy one can gain insight into one's self and come to understand how certain life events impact your life. Through this process of self reflection one can explore how to better manage events outside of one's control, learn more adaptive coping skills and find strategies for dealing with distress. Therapy is a tool to help people develop and improve areas of their lives that ultimately lead to greater inner contentment.

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.
