I also provides treatment for grief and loss, OCD , trichotillomania and skin picking as well as therapy to couples using Emotion Focused Therapy.
I like to help people with a wide variety of issues through psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a process of healing problems and creating greater self-awareness and insight in an individual in a confidential and safe environment and helping them initiate a more effective change within themselves. I have a wide range of experience with training in Short-Term Dynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy. I believe psychotherapy can lead to better and healthier relationships with yourself and with others around you, at home, with family, friends or at the workplace.

I have experience working with individuals as well as couples with concerns related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD , sleep, intimacy, communication, motivation, and trauma.
What I believe is more important for you to know about me – beyond any credential, previous education, and experience – is my empathy, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard. My client-centered focus to therapy creates an opportunity for collaboration, insight, and growth. The needs and concerns of any individual are unique and diverse, and that is why I am more than happy to connect for a 15-minute complimentary telephone consultation for you to learn a bit more about myself and my approach to therapy to find out if it's a right fit for you.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors

How long does OCD treatment take?

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.
