I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward therapy, especially when dealing with the complexities of OCD, anxiety, or relationship challenges.
I support clients struggling with OCD, anxiety, or relationship challenges, who are ready to understand their experiences more deeply and take intentional steps toward connection, liberation, and healing. My clients learn to relate differently to intrusive thoughts, worry about the future, and overwhelming sensations of anxiety. In addition, they learn how to hear and listen to their partner effectively. I hope to be therapist who offers not just expertise but also concrete tools and a compassionate space to address these issues. We all deserve authentic and tender relationships and a life that feels meaningful and value-based.

I work primarily with women that have experienced depression, anxiety/ ocd, trauma, adhd, behavioral and relational issues.
I believe change is difficult for most people. We often get stuck in certain patterns of behavior and find it difficult to move forward and heal. Every individual has the ability to change within themselves and it is my role to help guide people along the path of change. It is my goal as a Psychologist to help people capitalize on their strengths and teach them new ways of thinking, behaving, and coping with certain issues. I believe every child, teenager, adult, and family unit are unique and require an special/individualized approach to help them achieve their full potential.

I specialize in working with HSPs/Empaths, those on the spiritual path, those who have suffered from narcissistic abuse/gaslighting and those diagnosed with OCD.
Navigating an increasingly complex and demanding world can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disordered and depressed. We carry within our hearts a deep yearning for soulful purpose, inner tranquility and intimate connection but often feel we are just surviving. My greatest passion is to help people find their power; to teach them to creatively work with their inner and outer lives; and to aid them in detaching from toxic relationships and patterns, drawing supportive boundaries and expressing themselves and their gifts within the world.

Anxiety on its own can be extremely challenging. To make matters more difficult, it often also comes with sleep difficulties or depression, which can make daily life an exhausting and frustrating experience.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, and related difficulties (including panic attacks, OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, PTSD, and others). I have a particular specialty in the treatment of insomnia and sleep related disorders.

Life is hard, and sometimes feels impossible to navigate. You want to feel better and discover and build your ideal life. You want to enjoy life and be successful.

You remember a time when anxiety, depression, and painful emotions weren’t “the norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that? Life doesn’t have to stay this way.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Using a holistic approach in therapy we will explore the mind, body and spirit connection. We will learn balance and build resilience through the power of self-discovery, thus improving your quality of life. Negative thought patterns and beliefs will be identified and challenged through DBT, mindfulness, and EMDR. When needed we may create healthy eating habits and a healthy relationship with exercise. Cultivating your spirituality to relieve fear and nurture an attitude of gratitude and abundance is encouraged.

The goal is to break free from fear and self-doubt, creating a more balanced and empowered life. They want to overcome anxiety to improve relationships, enhance career opportunities, and achieve personal peace, knowing that with the right guidance, meaningful change is possible.

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.
