My specialty is adults with ADHD, but I also treat the common co-occurring concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and OCD.
You've maybe tried therapy before and it felt like you were just venting without going anywhere. Or maybe the anxiety is manageable some weeks and unbearable others, and you're not sure what's actually going to help long-term. Either way, you don't have to stay stuck.
I'm Jeana, a licensed professional clinical counselor with 9 years of experience, including 8 years in inpatient mental health settings. That background means I bring a high level of clinical depth to the anxiety, ADHD, relationship patterns, and career stress that many of my clients are navigating.

Your symptoms are not cracks to be mended; they are communications from beyond— letters of desire your conscious life cannot yet bear. Our work begins exactly there. I practice from a Lacanian orientation, which means I listen not only for what you intend to say, but for what is said despite you. In that gap, something profoundly new can emerge.
I do not promise solutions, positive thinking, or techniques for becoming “better adjusted.” I offer a place where you can finally speak freely, without needing to hide your desire, your contradictions, your ambivalence, or your pain.

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.
