My training began at the University of Florida where I participated in research and authored publications under the Department of Psychiatry, which has specialized in the treatment of
obsessive

My goal as a psychotherapist is to facilitate positive change in clients seeking better emotional and social functioning to improve their feelings of satisfaction and the overall quality of their lives.

Empowering people to embrace change and to leave their comfort zone to discover something new. Inspiring others to be all that they are capable of being and to realize one’s own potential.

With15 years of experience and specialization in managing trauma, anxiety and
obsessive
/compulsive symptoms, I offer trauma coaching and Exposure Response Prevention therapy to assist and coach you to manage your symptoms.
Daily demands and life strains can easily become complex and taxing when managing symptoms of trauma, grief, or anxiety. Seeking help and support should not add more to your everyday stress. I am here to hold a space for those who seek help in managing trauma, grief, anxiety or
obsessive
/compulsive symptoms to gain confidence and more 'real time' perspectives of life. Managing daily obstacles with confidence and more clarity is achievable. My philosophy is that a diagnosis or event does not define you. You are the author of your life. With editing and heart, you can manage the ebbs and flows of your life.

How long does OCD treatment take?
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.
