Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Bellaire, TX

I love helping people with OCD, athletes under pressure to perform, and men whose lives and relationships are unraveling because of video games. Each of these areas resonate with me in different ways, and I have so much compassion for people going through these challenges. As someone who has personally experienced OCD, I understand, in a very real sense, how debilitating it can be. I know what it’s like to have a part of your brain whispering to you, “I can’t feel this way…I must do something to make the feeling go away, or something bad will happen.” I also know what it is like to go through treatment and get better!

In my practice, the OCD and Anxiety Treatment Center of Houston, I have specialized for 27 years in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, postpartum OCD, panic disorder, other anxiety disorders, postpartum depression, hairpulling, and in managing stress. I use cognitive-behavioral therapies (e.g., Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and stress management methods. I belong to the Int'l OCD Foundation and frequently present at its conferences. I am also a personal coach and I help clients reach their goals. My goal is to help motivated people take back control of their lives.

We are hardwired to seek meaning and connection. When we lose sight of our needs and values we might feel depressed, not good enough, and stuck in an unhelpful cycle. Experiences like trauma, OCD, or ADHD tend to just add fuel to the fire. As a Clinical Psychologist I provide evidence-based treatments for anxiety and depression complicated by other factors, such as trauma, neurodivergence, perfectionism, and shame. I strive to help my clients increase self-awareness, process and cope with sticky emotions, and develop the skills needed to design and live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Are you constantly worried? Do you freeze when making decisions? Does your mental load keep you tossing and turning at night? Do you experience intrusive or unwanted thoughts? Do you feel compelled to perform certain behaviors or rituals? Have you tried regular talk therapy without success? Neurofeedback, EMDR, CBT, Touchpoints, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy, and other research-based therapies can help you achieve tangible relief. You can utilize the strengths of your brain to address emotional difficulties, including challenges that are biologically based or driven by traumatic experiences. Practical tools for sustained healing.

Do you keep worrying about the same things? Do you keep doing the same behavior over and over again no matter how hard you try to stop? Do you keep avoiding things that make you feel scared? I have seen how negative thought loops are related to many issues that affect our mood and behavior. Sometimes we can be stuck in these negative loops for days, weeks and even years affecting our relationships, social life, and work performance. With the help of therapy, you can learn how to develop a new set of skills to break out of these loops and move toward improving your overall wellbeing.

Do things seem overwhelming? Are you uncertain? Do you have doubts? Does your mind torment you? Are you confused or even scared? Suffering? If so, you have found the right person. Things CAN get better. I am here to help you regain a sense of control over your life, build coping skills, and assist you in making the changes you desire. I would be honored to journey with you, offering you a safe space to tell your story and sustained compassion along the way.

A therapist is like a dentist. We can avoid them for a while, and sometimes we find one we like or don't like. Eventually, though, everyone needs to see one. Therapy won't solve your problems, but it will help equip you with the tools you need to get through. We offer in-person and video sessions, and see children to adults. We have several groups available, and we accept insurance and offer a sliding scale. We believe therapy is for everyone. Contact us for a free consultation. Even if you don't end up seeing a therapist with our practice, we can help you find someone that you connect with.

Therapy can help change your life in remarkable ways. You may be dealing with depression, anxiety or trauma that holds you back from living your life fully. You may have encountered a rough patch in an important relationship. Or perhaps you've lost someone or something important and need someone to walk through the mourning process with you. Finding the right therapist, someone who is trustworthy and experienced, with whom you can connect and feel safe, is essential to a satisfying and helpful therapeutic process. My goal is to create such an atmosphere for you.

I am a psychotherapist who has been in private practice for 30 years. Because of the longevity of my work, I have encountered a wide variety of people of all ages and problems. I believe in the dignity and value of each individual person and treat people with empathy, compassion, warmth, and kindness. I give sustained attention during a session and believe that people can solve their own problems with some objective structure and feedback. For my clients' convenience I maintain two offices. Weekend and evening appointments are available.

I am committed to providing life changing solutions to my clients in an engaging, respectful, and supportive manner. Whether seeking assistance in coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, marital issues or grief and loss, the decision to seek psychotherapy is an important step on the path of meaningful change. I am trained and experienced in the use of several effective therapeutic techniques and am committed to tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs. My therapeutic style is centered in mutual collaboration, honest and open communication, and pragmatic approaches to dealing with issues.

People seek therapy for many reasons. You may face illness or health issues, and seek therapy for support. You may experience an unexpected negative event and need therapy to deal with resulting stress, depression or anxiety. Or you may want a different perspective on a given situation and seek therapy for clarity. My goal is to help you find the support, relief and clarity to enjoy a more productive life. I believe in a non-judgmental, active and collaborative approach. Warmth, compassion and humor characterize my therapy style.

Your day starts and ends with an endless loop of anxious, self-critical thoughts and ongoing pressure to stay afloat. No matter what you try, you feel like you are constantly sinking. It may feel like your life revolves around constant stress about performance, appearance, food, weight, & exercise. Underneath, you are swamped with fear, perfectionism, uncertainty, anxiety, depression, shame and guilt. Maybe you recently experienced a loss, and the waves of shock, denial, sadness, and anger are too overwhelming to navigate alone. You're exhausted from trying to numb these painful feelings and are desperately seeking relief!

Struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, depression, or interpersonal issues can be tough. I get that it takes vulnerability to share your difficulties and innermost thoughts with another person. My goal is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. I can help you keep yourself accountable on changing behaviors and come up with effective plans for doing so.
