In my years of professional practice, I've come to understand the profound intricacies of mental health conditions, one of the most compelling and often misunderstood being Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD is more than just a term casually thrown around in daily conversations about tidiness or an affinity for order; it’s a challenging and often debilitating condition that has real, tangible impacts on individuals and their loved ones. OCD is not a manifestation of someone merely being "particular" or "meticulous". It is the relentless recurrence of unwelcome thoughts and the intense urge to perform certain behaviors or

So much to say in such a small space! I became a therapist because I wanted to give purpose to the pain that I had gone through and to let people know they weren't alone, that if I got through it, they could too. I have lived experience with anxiety, grief, stress (of course we all do!), panic, and trauma. As well as in parenting, marriage, and ADHD (2 of my adult children). I enjoy working with women who have ADHD or suspect that they might. Also, clients dealing with life transitions, anxiety, stress, or depression. Lastly, I love supporting parents on the often-rocky-but-very-rewarding road that is parenting.

Ideally, I try to create a comfortable environment so that the client can feel a connection. I realize that one of the hardest things to do as a person, is to admit that you need to talk a problem through with someone outside of your circle of family and friends. When meeting with the client, I try to distinguish where they are and go above and beyond to make the therapeutic process a success.

Hoarding Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.

How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.

Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.

Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
