I help teens and adults who feel paralyzed and overwhelmed by OCD, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes.
You’re feeling stuck in your own head. Cycles of unwanted and “what if” thoughts won’t stop. You’ve tried to think your way out of it, distract yourself, get reassurance–but the relief never lasts. You may be criticizing yourself, overanalyzing, checking, avoiding, or needing to feel “certain” before you can move on. Part of you knows your thoughts don’t fully make sense, yet they still feel real and hard to ignore. You are ready for relief – to feel peace again.

Depression, Anxiety, Thought disorders, OCD, Anger Management, Addiction,( chronic relapse) and PTSD/trauma.
I feel honored to walk alongside you during your journey to holistic wellness. Often life’s circumstances redirect our desired purpose. Trauma is one such circumstance. A traumatic past often leads to unhealthy interpretation of the motivations of others. This often hinders fully obtaining and maintaining positive interpersonal connections. Could yesterday’s trauma unknowingly, and unconsciously keep you in a state of maladaptive feelings/behaviors such as low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, depression, jealousy, or perfectionism? Has your family of origin or upbringing created schemas that perpetuate these feelings?

You’ve been in therapy before—maybe more than once—and you’ve gained real insight. You understand yourself better. And yet, here you are again, feeling stuck in the same patterns, the same relationship dynamics, the same quiet ache of disconnection. You’re not broken. You’re just ready for something deeper.
The clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware people who are ready for something to shift—not just in how they think about themselves, but in how they feel. They’re drawn to deeper emotional exploration, willing to sit with what’s underneath —not with self-judgment, but with curiosity.

It’s so easy in this day and age to lose sight of one’s self and wake up one day and not recognize the person in the mirror. It’s my passion to come alongside those individuals or couples that have lost their way in life and need a listening ear or a fresh perspective. I firmly believe that every dry and painful season of life can be a springboard into hope for the next. It does not matter who you are, what’s been done or what you have done, there is hope.

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.
