My clients want to learn how to approach these obstacles and apply their new skills as problems arise; this allows my clients to feel confident in making positive, lasting changes in their lives. I often work with individuals, both adults and adolescents, who want to learn how to be more mindful in their lives and want help "getting out of their heads so to speak."

I love this work and look forward to connecting with you in your journey toward emotional wholeness!

People looking for therapeutic support may be facing a range of issues, from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship difficulties or existential questions about purpose and identity. Therapy can help you to be open to introspection and self-exploration regardless of the concerns being presented. At the core, I believe that most people desire healing and an improved quality of life. To achieve these core goals, we must look at issues such as emotional regulation, building self-worth, and seeking out clarity regarding desired outcomes. Therapy can help to break free from patterns and cultivate healthier habits.

Due to the nature of my specialties, I have developed expertise in working with mood disorders and OCD. I believe in meeting an individual where they are at, and that trauma looks differently to everyone because you cannot see someone's mental health.

Hoarding Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.

How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.

Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.

Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
