I am a clinical counselor that works with clients that are struggling with various concerns, symptoms and diagnosis, but my unique focus areas are Eating Disorders (restrictive types), OCD and anxiety disorders. This overall often includes, but is not limited to clients with personalities that are anxious in nature, Type A, or over-controlled. These can be challenging personalities, because individuals are often seen as thriving, but underneath they're struggling with subjects such as perfection, difficulty with change, feeling overwhelmed or other just to keep up. We'll work together to break the unknown habits to improve your life

When you experience uncomfortable emotions, do you tend to distract yourself or shut down? Do you struggle with creating a support network or having boundaries with others? Are there unresolved trauma issues that you may not be acknowledging? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are one step closer because the first step toward change is awareness.

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.
