My ideal client would be where you find yourself trying to hold it together, and you may not look for help until a situation has gotten worse and its almost a crisis. That situation will significantly affect your life, and you will hit a breaking point. This might be self-esteem, anxiety, depression, adjusting to life changes, codependency, grief, health issues, or just feeling stuck. It's hard to ask for help but here you are, and what you thought might work is not working any more. You would find yourself in my office feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, confused but feeling like you had taken the first step to finding HOPE.

Our therapists have special interests in treating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, social anxiety, selective mutism, and PTSD.
Everyone feels anxious at times. 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 daily activities. Though anxiety is very treatable, only about one-third of those suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. With the right type of therapy, the prognosis for anxiety disorders is very good; however, without treatment, anxiety tends to become more debilitating.

Stop feeding OCD, starve it! In therapy, you can learn skills to gather the courage and grit to face your fears and tame the anxiety.

Are you beating yourself up for thinking these kinds of thoughts? Often intrusive thoughts can be very scary, violent, and go against the very things you value and hold dear.

We specialize in and are passionate about treating the full range of anxiety disorders, including but not limited to: Specific Phobias (such as needles, roaches, vomit, driving, flying), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Illness Anxiety Disorder.
Anxiety protects you from harm and motivates you to succeed. Anxiety is problematic, however, when it becomes out of proportion to the situation and interferes with your life. Often the strategies you use to cope with your anxiety--such as avoidance--make it worse. The treatment that we provide is geared toward interrupting this vicious cycle by helping you gradually face your fears and build your confidence in a collaborative and supportive environment. We utilize a flexible cognitive-behavioral approach which incorporates mindfulness, cognitive techniques, and exposure-based interventions.

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.

Living with Anxiety and OCD can feel like being trapped in a loop. Thoughts race and you try and distract yourself form your worries and fears, but they just seem to get worse. The things that used to bring joy, now fell like too much, so you avoid them. You feel alone, like no one will understand these thoughts that do not make sense. Seeking reassurance helps for a little while but the anxiety always comes back. Living with anxiety and OCD makes everyday a struggle and it is exhausting. Life without the burden of all these worries can feel out of reach, but it does not have to be this way.

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.
