I believe that no two people are just alike. As a result, I take a prescriptive approach to helping clients in therapy. Techniques and interventions are tailored to an individual's situations, strengths, and supports. YOU are the expert of your own life. My role is to help you establish goals, identify barriers to those goals, and develop solutions to overcome those barriers. In all honesty, counseling can be a lot of work, and it does take time.

**Currently only accepting self-pay clients. Someone with the wrong prescription of glasses will inevitably trip and fall, regardless of how good or bad their vision is, and regardless of how many coffee tables they’ve kicked. Stevie aspires to help clients in finding their exact lens, both providing clarity and decreasing undesirable symptoms–even if that’s only coffee table bruises.

When someone experiences a traumatic event or life stressors, especially if it's one after another, it is quite understandable when their lives begin fall apart. No one can put themselves together on their own. My pleasure is in helping you through this difficult period and gain clarity for the future. I help individuals, couples and families achieve increased peace between themselves and within themselves. My true desire is to help you come to a point where you sense a strength and quality you didn't know existed before and experience less anxiety, clearheadedness and joy with your life and those around you.

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.
