I know how much shame and isolation BFRBs, anxiety, and OCD-related disorders can cause.
Clients choose me as a therapist because they want to overcome feelings of anxiety and shame, build confidence and self-compassion, feel more comfortable with themselves, and function more effectively. After working with me, clients have a toolbox of strategies to cope with urges and behaviors they want to change; understand more about themselves, their emotions, and their behaviors; are able to do things they used to avoid; and can reclaim their time and mental energy from body-focused repetitive behaviors, anxiety, and OCD.

Anxiety, OCD, and perfectionism are whole-body problems, and I am Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition to provide whole-body solutions.
Overwhelm, overdrive, over it. Despite all your effort, pushes, and thoughtful use of “wellness tips” to move forward, you may be feeling stuck. You’re used to checking off all the boxes, but feeling happy and whole remains unchecked. It’s a rigged game- society tells us to keep working, but the finish line always seems to be moving. A life without constant worry, burnout, exhaustion, and triple-checking “just to be sure” is possible. Let’s take back your life from anxiety and stress, and instead make it about what matters to you.

Are you someone with high functioning anxiety or depression? OCD or ADD/ADHD? Maybe that pesky inner critic won't be quiet, or you hyperfocus on mistakes. Trouble setting boundaries or saying no, asking for help? Do you get easily overwhelmed by others' emotions or your environment? Maybe people say you are too sensitive. You can learn to recognize and label these patterns with time, practice, and kindness to yourself.

In addition to specializing in anxiety/ OCD, I treat prenatal and postpartum anxiety and depression.
Your mind is constantly racing, flooding you with worry. You don't even know where the thoughts come from, but they can be upsetting. You try to control or ignore them, but they come right back. You're stressing out the people around you. Why does life seem so easy for other people? You're tired of people telling you to "just relax" and that "it will be okay." Nothing you do seems to work and you've never felt so discouraged. You are afraid that this anxiety will never go away, especially if it is new to you. You want to be at ease. You want to feel like you're actually engaged in your life, not distracted and struggling through it.

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.
