I am licensed in both Maryland and Delaware. Are you feeling overwhelmed in your job or having problems in your relationship? Is there something keeping you from being motivated? Could it be depression? After all, depression is like the common cold. Everyone gets it sooner or later. Have you suffered a loss? The loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of mobility? It can help to talk about it.

Have you ever wondered if you have OCD? Have you been feeling stuck in traditional talk therapy? Are you struggling with intrusive thoughts or constant rumination that feels never-ending? Do you find yourself caught in compulsions or rituals, such as checking lights, stoves, or electronics, engaging in excessive cleaning or bathing, or getting stuck in a cycle of reassurance-seeking (yes this can be a compulsion)? Do you experience overwhelming doubts- questioning "did I really say that," or "maybe I really did hurt their feelings." Or perhaps you're dealing with some of the more distressing, taboo forms of OCD.

Do you find yourself struggling with overwhelm, people pleasing or knee-jerk reactions to situations that you later regret? Or engaging in negative/self-harming behaviors, such as binge eating or overspending? You may be struggling with trauma responses and I believe you have the capacity to find healing. I help clients establish internal safety and understand their current coping skills/behaviors. Where necessary we make changes and amplify the strengths you inherently already have. Recovering from trauma doesn’t mean we eliminate every frustration, however we work on the capacity to stay present and calm where appropriate.

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.
