I specialize in OCD and anxiety disorders and have comprehensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and ACT.
Worry and panic can feel debilitating, and intrusive thoughts can steal your joy. You may struggle with social anxiety, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts involving: contamination, unwanted sexual images, or the fear of harming a loved one. I have dedicated my work to helping kids, teens, and adults break free from unhelpful thought and behavior cycles so they can regain control. My work as a therapist brings me great joy as I see my clients live fulfilling lives amidst everyday uncertainties. As they overcome their fears, they begin to reconnect with their values and what is most important to them.

Have you been struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts or feeling overwhelmed and stressed? Do you feel like you’re worrying non-stop and can’t stop the worry? It often feels like being stuck in a vicious cycle where you’ve tried so many fixes without seeing results. Maybe you have found that trying to avoid, fix your thoughts and push through has made things worse. Anxiety stems from a multitude of factors including the body being stuck in fight or flight mode, the mind inadvertently trained to get caught up in thoughts, and core beliefs that were formed during previous experiences that perpetuate the anxiety

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.
