I work with adults who are navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, OCD, and ADHD. They seek understanding, relief, and strategies to manage their symptoms and improve their daily lives. Their goals include achieving mental stability, enhancing personal growth, and ultimately, leading a fulfilling life despite their challenges.

In addition to PTSD, I treat various conditions including ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, OCD, and other mood and anxiety disorders.
You shouldn't have to struggle to get through the day nor should you have to settle for just feeling "OK". I believe the mind, body, and spirit should work together in harmony so that we may become our best selves, cope well during difficult times, and live the lives we truly deserve. I've found this can be achieved through psychotherapy, collaborating with other providers, good nutrition and sleep hygiene, physical exercise, discovering what brings us joy and in some cases medication management. Ultimately, I believe in a holistic & individualized approach, and if you think we may be a good fit, please reach out!

We all have a story, what's yours? I believe that we are all shaped by what we have experienced, been through, and accomplished.

My ideal client is one who is open to sharing their story as part of the healing process. By understanding how you got to where you are, we can move forward to where you want to be. This applies to all people regardless of age, sex, or diagnosis.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Psychiatrists

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.
