I am trained in a variety of different therapies to treat children with anxiety, trauma, OCD, and oppositional behaviors.
Have you tried everything to help your child and nothing seems to be working? Maybe you've seen a therapist before and it wasn't helpful or your child refused to talk and it was a waste of time. I can help support you in understanding your child and their individualized needs. I specialize in teaching parents therapeutic interventions to use with their children at home to reduce meltdowns, decrease anxiety, and increase coping skills (for yourself and your child). And if working with you isn't enough to help your child, I am a registered play therapist able to communicate with children through play (no talking necessary).

We must first accept where, what, and who we are in the present moment before seeking to change ourselves or our situation. In therapy, you'll learn how to access your inner wisdom and regain a sense of control over your thoughts and emotions. Our society is filled with contradicting messages that infiltrate our thoughts and alter our beliefs, goals, and behaviors. On a daily basis, we’re expected to stay connected, but limit screen time; be conscious of what you put in your body, but don’t restrict; be a leader, but don’t be bossy; do your best, but don’t be a perfectionist; be expressive, but not dramatic.

I primarily work with clients who have experienced family of origin conflicts ranging from generally difficult relationships to loved ones with substance use disorders, who are seeking to rebuild their confidence, improve relationships with others, and develop a compassionate internal dialogue. I also support clients in the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Together we will explore the internal and external barriers toward change, paired with developing a strong sense of self-awareness and self-efficiency.

Life is a series of challenges. Society reinforces quick fixes to be happy. I am realistic and believe that living the kind of life you desire is not about avoiding distress and challenges. It is about learning skills and having the right tools to function while feeling distress and facing those challenges. True growth occurs in the face of discomfort, so therapy is not always easy. I provide a safe space while you go through those times of discomfort. It is the willingness to tolerate that discomfort and when real transformation and empowerment occurs.

Together, we can find a home and balance within yourself centering on your strengths that keep you going everyday as you begin your therapeutic journey.

Inner Clarity, LLC is a group private practice comprised of professionals with varying areas of specialization. Our main goal is to provide a warm, inviting, and relaxing environment for our clients to engage in individual, family, couples, and/or group therapy with a professional who is skilled in meeting their clinical needs. We are an out-of-network provider and would be happy to verify benefits prior to starting services. Our office is able to bill out of network directly, so patients are only responsible for coinsurance at the time of service after deductible is met, and any balance outside of what insurance covers.

An openness to the idea of new possibilities is the heart of the therapeutic alliance I seek to build with my clients. You or your child may be experiencing excessive worry, sadness, anger, or low self-esteem that is interfering with everyday tasks. Maybe you are encountering parenting challenges that have put a strain on your relationship with your child, and you would like to do things differently. Maybe there was an event or experience that has you or your child feeling “stuck”. Opening yourself up to the idea of trying something new is already a major step toward a new beginning!

In this changing world, working with children and adolescents requires specialized knowledge, however, it also requires warmth, empathy, optimism, and a connection with your clients. I am committed to providing this level of treatment. The insight I've gained through my work as an in-home therapist and a School Social Worker, as well as experiences in a hospital setting, a substance abuse clinic, and an alternative school for students with behavioral disorders has been invaluable to understanding today's struggles. With the relationship we build together, I believe you will acquire the skills needed to become stronger and happier.

Finding a therapist can be an overwhelming task. You don't want to pick some name off a list. If you are looking for help, you might feel at the end of your rope, you don't know what else to do, like nobody understands or "gets" you, or that you need some simple guidance. We can help. Therapy isn't magic. Most people intellectually know what they need to do, they just need guidance, encouragement, or new skills to get there.

There is one Self and a shared consciousness deep within. At the same time, we live in a world of diversity and individual uniqueness. Psychotherapy now has the tools to assist in the journey to uncover the genuine “you”,that is, the person you have been looking to be all your life. Layers of conditioning have separated you from the self within. Mindfulness, trauma work and self-compassion provide the support and pathways to clear out wasteful thinking, worries, depression, obsessions and addictions which keep you unbalanced and discontent. Additionally, relational communication skills will build your connectedness and boundaries.

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.
