You have found yourself in a marriage that is in transition. Fighting, bickering, tension, anxiety, and sadness have taken over your relationship and your home. You don't feel like friends and you certainly do not feel like lovers. You do not share with each other, you are not partners in any sense of the word. You have decided that something has to change. You cannot continue to live your life this way. You are considering separation and maybe divorce but you hate the thought of what this will do to your family, your friends and your entire world. You need someone to guide you forward so that everything does not fall apart.

My ideal client feels stuck between who they’ve been and who they want to be. They’re navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship struggles, or trauma—and they’re tired of doing it alone. They’re often the ones others rely on, but rarely have space for themselves. They want clarity, peace, and more authentic connection. They don’t need fixing—they need a place to be seen, supported, and gently challenged. Together, we work to untangle what’s holding them back so they can live with more freedom and self-trust.

You have probably tried therapy before. Maybe it helped for a while, and you still find yourself cycling back to the same patterns. The same bracing before a hard conversation. The same wall that goes up when someone gets close. The same quiet exhaustion of holding everything together while something underneath stays stuck. I want you to know that is not a failure. It is actually a signal that something in you is still reaching for more. I work with adults carrying complex trauma: C-PTSD, developmental trauma, and attachment wounds built slowly over years through early relationships, emotional neglect, and unsafe environments.

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.
