While I regularly support people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life stress, many also benefit from my additional experience with trauma (complex, developmental, and single-incident), codependency and boundaries, disordered eating and body image concerns, body symptoms lacking a medical explanation, and OCD/anxiety.
It’s important to find a therapist who feels like a good fit. You may get a lot out of our work if you struggle with assertiveness or establishing your own needs in relationships. You may be deeply attuned to others, overwhelmed and resentful, and stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You may struggle with shame, boundaries, or building relationships that feel safe and reciprocal. If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy but felt that something was missing, somatic therapy might help you work through things in a more integrated way. If you want not only coping skills but genuine growth and change, you're in the right place.

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, fluoxetine, and sertraline, 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.
