Hi! My name is Emily, and I am a licensed clinical social worker working primarily with children and teens. I specialize in helping young children navigate anxiety, ADHD, and regulating emotions. I also work with teenagers and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or those seeking a space to express themselves.

As a therapist my primary goal is to help guide individuals, families, and/or couples to the place they want to be, and to live the life that they envision for themselves.
My approach is to build a positive rapport with the individuals I work with, gain a clear and deep understanding of what they are looking to achieve through therapy, then generate a plan that will help make said goal(s) be not only achievable, though sustainable as well.
I utilize CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as a means to make progress a reality.

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.
