Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Solana Beach, CA
I specialize in working with trauma, OCD, self-harm and suicide, and perfectionism.
When your child is hurting, it can leave you feeling helpless. You may notice your child lashing out, withdrawing, or struggling to connect with others. Perhaps they’re struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or acting out in ways you don’t recognize. Maybe you notice them coping through self-harm, disordered eating, or substance use. Or maybe your child has recently come out to you, is exploring their sexuality or gender identity, and your family is navigating uncharted waters together. You want to support your child – but you’re not sure where to begin.

We have specialized training and experience treating anxiety/ OCD, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma.
We help kids, teens, and young adults who struggle with anxiety gain the confidence they need to put themselves out there and build healthy relationships. Our clients struggle just like you and your kids do. Despite being bright, academically high achieving, and able to seemingly balance it all, life is still hard. When they first come in, they are in a relentless cycle of never feeling “good enough” and are stuck comparing themselves to everyone else. They may start their day with reserved hope as they head to school, and come home a total wreck. You are doing your best, but you don’t always know the right thing to say.

You may be a late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed neurodivergent adult—autistic, ADHD, or both—who functions well on the surface but feels chronically exhausted beneath it. Years of masking—monitoring your tone, reactions, productivity, attention, and social cues—can quietly lead to burnout, anxiety, and a sense that life requires constant effort. I specialize in working with neurodivergent adults who are ready to reduce masking, rebuild energy, and develop a way of living that supports their nervous system, values, & long-term independence.

My ideal clients are individuals and couples who feel disconnected, reactive, or unsure of themselves despite managing daily life. Individuals may struggle to tolerate emotions, feel grounded in who they are, or experience shame, numbness, or a lack of meaning. Couples may feel stuck in cycles of conflict or distance, with emotional or sexual intimacy feeling strained or unsafe. These clients want more than coping strategies, they want to build emotional capacity, develop a stronger sense of self, and experience deeper, more authentic connection within themselves and their relationships.

From experience I know that therapy works and for every issue there is a solution. I use varied therapeutic approaches and adapt treatment to meet the needs of each individual, couple, and business group I see. My work with individuals allows them to know and understand their own psychology and to become more conscious, creative, and alive. They connect with their inner strength, release from old fears, remove obstacles, and discover their true identity. They reunite with their capacity to flow with life rather than trying to swim upstream. They feel more compassionate toward themselves and others. Joyous and calm.

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.
