I have worked with many types of addiction, OCD, depression, anxiety and trauma throughout my experience as a therapist.
Navigating through tumultuous and stressful times and/or coping with a painful history in our lives is, and can be, life altering. Mental health issues, including addiction issues can be a crippling experience and therapy can assist in managing and reducing the effects on our psyche and body. The symptoms that accompany our distressful feelings and thoughts interfere in how we perceive ourselves and our environment. Learning how to focus our mind on the present, addressing one task at a time and finding ways of coping in a healthy manner are essential to moving forward safely.

People always tell me that they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings with me. I believe this is because they feel unconditional acceptance without any judgement. Many people I support are living with anxiety, depression, wrestling with a life transition, struggling in their relationships at home or at work, or just feeling stuck. If you are contemplating making a change in your life and are seeking guidance as you explore your options and the possibilities that change may bring, I can help.

For over 20 years I've been committed to helping individuals find hope in their lives. In these complicated times, we are often burdened by stress, worries, sadness, and a lack of a sense of meaning in life. We experience problems in our families and relationships, finances, and employment. Life can hit us with loss, grief, loneliness, illness, and trauma. All this sounds difficult, I know, but there is good news--there is hope. We can heal, we can start over again, with a new attitude, new choices, new behaviors and a new plan. Let me walk with you on your journey of healing.

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.
