I’m a counselor who works with adult clients with anxiety, OCD, and PTSD symptoms.
Anxiety is an exhausting cycle. Negative thoughts, feelings, and memories are natural parts of being a human being, but they don’t have to control your life or take away from what is truly meaningful to you. I believe that having a space to explore your feelings in an open, non-judgmental environment can relieve some of the pressure and make it possible to invest time and effort into what you truly care about. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety and intrusive thoughts effectively, your life can become much richer and more meaningful.

As a therapist, I specialize in treating individuals who are facing many of these overlapping issues and feel caught between anxiety, OCD, and trauma.
In our work together, we’ll start to untangle strategies that once helped you survive (or may still provide temporary relief) but don’t result in you feeling grounded and secure. We will also gently explore your past and navigate the impact it has on the present, processing those experiences that have been personally disruptive.

OCD can feel exhausting and isolating.
I also support clients who are processing trauma or abuse, including emotionally painful or invalidating experiences that continue to impact how they see themselves and connect with others. In therapy, we explore how past experiences show up in the present, while focusing on practical ways to build confidence, emotional regulation, and healthier boundaries.

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.
