My ideal client is a child, teen, or adult who feels overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck and is ready for support. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, or stress related to family, work, or court-involved situations. They need a safe, nonjudgmental space to be heard and understood. Their goal is to gain clarity, build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and feel more confident navigating life. They want therapy because they’re ready for change and a healthier perspective.

I'm an OCD and PTSD specialist, using evidence based approaches for each disorder.
Being unable to meet our goals is disappointing. Not knowing why is devastating. We seek answers on the outside and look to others for the "right" and the "wrong" of the situation, but everyone is different. Everyone has different approaches, and everyone has inner resources. The problem is not that you are flawed, incapable, or unable to achieve your goals. The problem is that you're simply having a little trouble accessing your strengths. Whether your issue is related to connection, depression, anxiety, or other life stressors, I am here to listen, to see you, and to understand. I am here to help.

My goal is to provide a client-centered approach using a variety of techniques from different modalities (such as Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, and EMDR) so that one can feel less alone, more empowered, and ultimately healthier and happier.

We cannot move forward until we know where we have been on the journey of life.

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.
