When you think about a better future for yourself, what do you envision? Are you feeling less stressed? Are you more confident? Is your relationship thriving? Are you getting more time to do the things you love? Therapy is a journey to find a path towards those goals. Therapy is an individualized process. Sometimes, we aren’t always aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and situations that prevent us from feeling better or getting our needs met. Other times, we are aware of these things but unsure on how to limit how much they impact us and how we can manage them.

I'm trained in CBT & ERP which are the leading evidence based treatments for eating disorders and OCD.
Hi, I'm Abby! My passion for treating eating disorders and OCD comes from my own journey to recovery. I love working with people that want to make change but are struggling with where to start. If you struggle with intrusive thoughts, ruminating thoughts, find yourself on an endless cycle of diets or hating your body, labeling foods good or bad and feeling guilty after you eat, or are struggling with understanding what thoughts you can believe and which ones you can't...then you came to the right place! I believe whole heartedly that you can recover from these disorders, and I am passionate about helping others do just that.

I connect well with women who are navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, and life transitions.
Hello and welcome! Worry, stress, sadness, and/or stress may be nudging you to consider therapy. You may have had "search for a therapist" on the do list and you're finally taking the step. I empathize with the fact that the search can feel overwhelming (and even confusing, thanks to insurance). Participating in therapy is a form of self-care that we can all benefit from. We can have the greatest support networks, trusting and loving relationships, and yet we still "filter" our communication and what we disclose. Therapy is unique in that it offers a safe space to be unfiltered, honest, and more connected to our true self.

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.
