Providing home based therapy allows me to more easily connect to my clients. My passion is to work with children, adolescents and their families. Sometimes life stressors can have a negtive impact on our life. After completing a thorough assessment, together we will develop a treatment plan to address a child/adolescents individual concerns, or a families concerns. I believe that a significant part of therapy is to expose my clients to a variety of coping skills and practice them until they are used in their day to day life.

I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship you build with your therapist. A good therapeutic relationship is one in which you not only gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors, but you also feel accepted and supported as you work toward making positive changes in your life. My main goal as a therapist is to build a therapeutic alliance with each person I work with that is based on acceptance, trust and support, from which it is possible to reach a level of awareness that opens the door to life altering changes and transformations.

A comprehensive assessment of each individual's needs will be the first step to determine the type of treatment. Respect for each individual's time, circumstances and targeted goals will be kept in the forefront of all treatment decisions. I welcome parents to be prepared to participate thoroughly in the treatment of their child, preteen or adolescent. Therapeutic care requires commitment from the family and the individual. Adult clients will value the secure and growth promoting interventions used that lead to meaningful emotional regulation and change.

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.
