I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who specializes in the treatment of OCD and I utilize a specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach, called Exposure and Response Prevention.
It's overwhelming to deal with chronic anxiety. Experiencing high intensity emotions on a regular basis make day-to-day "normal" life difficult. Feeling as if things are out of control is common in those affected by trauma and/or OCD. Maybe you recall a time when life felt more peaceful and you'd like to return to that place, or maybe you have felt this way for too long, and you finally want to move toward a life of freedom.

Life is a package. When you open it, there will be something we want; and something we don't. Sometimes, life is great; other times, without our approval, life may shift in directions we have never thought about before (e.g., an accident). The wisdom of life, in heart-breaking moments like this, depends on the choices we make; choose to dwell in the pain and be stuck (e.g., depression); or carry the pain with us, continue to move forward, and create opportunities for a meaningful life. I believe such wisdom is embedded in everybody's heart; I am committed to work with you to discovery your own wisdom and pursue a meaningful life.

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.
