I enjoy working with clients who want to learn more about the inner workings of their psyche, who are ready to take the first steps on their journey to heal and are motivated to do the necessary work. I take a holistic approach tending to each person's physical, mental/cognitive, emotional and spiritual aspects. My personal style is one of honesty, creativity, nonjudgmental acceptance and yes, at times, humor. I see myself as a guide who walks with each client, providing a safe, caring and supportive presence.

I work with clients with depression, anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders.
When we begin to heal ourselves, we can begin to truly love the person we are. Our struggles, past or present, do not define who you are as a person. It is simply a chapter in your life. We can use our struggles to gain strength. It takes courage, resiliency and determination, but with the right tools, I believe we can all heal. Recovery is not linear, and progress is not perfection.

I find inspiration in the strength and resilience I see in the work I do with my patients. Everyone has their own unique life story and worldview. These beliefs and values help establish ones character and value system. Throughout life, all people face challenges or barriers that can influence their mental health and alter one’s worldview. Vulnerability plays a key role in seeking out help and utilizing therapy to become more empowered and overcome these challenges. I believe the therapeutic process leads to restored hope, gained insight, confidence, and learning healthy ways to cope.

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.
