I specialize in anxiety disorders ( OCD and panic). I am passionate about assisting patients with compulsions, fears, and intrusive thoughts that no one wants to talk about, i.e., what if I jumped off a cliff, or hurt someone, what if I no longer believe in my faith. I have an energetic, open and caring style. I will give you clear feedback and things to read and work on outside of therapy so we can make our time more productive and help you meet your goals. We understand the part of brain that misfires in OCD and can actually help you rewire your brain. ERP--Exposure and response prevention is used. Prefer EMAIL inquiry.

I have specialized experience in treating trauma, OCD, anxiety, and depression.
I view therapy as a place for both the patient and the therapist to be real and authentic. Therapy can be a place where we come together to listen to and honor those parts of ourselves that we cut off. Over time, as we come to acknowledge and accept those parts of self that have been left behind, we can come to feel whole again. In this way, therapy does not eliminate every pain or problem, but it is a chance for reducing unnecessary suffering while being kind to ourselves in the face of the inherent struggles of life.

Scrupulosity isn’t a problem of faith even though it feels that way sometimes–it’s a form of obsessive compulsive disorder that gets better with evidence-based treatment.
I help Latter-day Saints who struggle with a kind of obsessive compulsive disorder called scrupulosity find peace in their spiritual lives. My clients want to have good experiences at church, in the temple, or on a mission, but their OCD and anxiety always gets in the way. They are worried that they aren’t worthy, that the Church isn’t true, and that they aren’t going to be with their families forever. They also struggle with other OCD themes in addition to scrupulosity.

I use a client-centered, feminist multicultural approach to work with trauma, OCD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, suicidal ideation, self-harm, grief, and substance use disorder.

I love to show people their inner strength and foster self-compassion through harm-reduction and specialized trauma treatment techniques.

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.
