My expertise in school psychology, OCD, chronic health conditions, autism, ADHD, Tourette's and its triad, and combinations of these issues, and experience in a medical system give me a unique understanding of the struggles your child is facing.
If children came with instruction manuals, parenting would be so much easier; but they don’t, and being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in today’s busy world. As a parent, I understand how difficult it can be to manage, teach, and help your child overcome adversities to reach his or her potential. When your child struggles, your teen lashes out, or they are crippled with anxiety, you may feel frustrated or overwhelmed… or both. As a professional, my passion is helping parents and their children, tweens, teens and young adults through life’s challenges--to feel competent to handle their lives.

I have a special interest in obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, and social anxiety.
Everyone feels anxious in certain situations. Anxiety motivates us to prepare for important events and protects us when we are in harm's way. However, anxiety becomes problematic when it is out of proportion to the situation in a way that interferes with a child's ability to learn, maintain friendships, and have fun. Affecting approximately one in eight children, anxiety disorders are the most frequently occurring behavioral health disorders. Though anxiety disorders are among the most treatable behavioral health disorders, only about one-third of those suffering from anxiety receive treatment.

For as long as you can remember, your child’s been an anxious kid. You hoped they’d grow out of it, but it only seems to get worse. Getting them to school each day is a tear-filled struggle and you're struggling with how to help them. They spend more time in the office asking to go home than they does in class. Every anxious experience limits thieir world further. You try your best to accommodate their feelings, but you worry you’re making things worse. It’s getting to the point where all they seems comfortable doing is playing alone at home. Something has to change.

Although anxiety can be helpful for us in our daily life, too much anxiety can make it more challenging for us to live the life we want. Other life difficulties can also feel like obstacles that need to be overcome. We can feel overwhelmed and powerless in those moments. Know that in these hard times, you are absolutely brave. You are also not alone. If you are interested in wanting more support with these challenges in a safe and open-minded environment, you have come to the right place!

Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations. -Alfred Adler. My favorite quote. I am primarily Adlerian, though I have developed an eclectic therapeutic style over the past 13 years. There is no "one size fits all" therapeutic intervention. I believe therapy must take into account the patient's whole environment, including the people the patient associates with. We all have individual experiences that influence who we are and our struggles in life. We have the power to define life or be defined by life.

Your struggle is real. Many of my clients struggle with intense emotional pain stemming from feelings of incompetence, unlovability, and fear of rejection. Their pain acts like an emotional dictator that commands them to withdraw from friends, family, work, school, hobbies, passions, interests, and other activities that make life worth living. Stuck in a virtual world and increasingly distant from what is important, they feel directionless and unsure of their best life because they’re so focused on protecting themselves from emotional pain.

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.
