Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Hudson, NH
You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
You may understand your patterns and have spent years trying to make sense of your inner world, yet still find yourself caught in anxiety, emotional reactivity, relational pain, or a quiet sense of overwhelm. Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and moving through life with great responsibility, while internally carrying the imprint of chronic stress, trauma, or attachment wounds.
Together, we create space to slow down, a place where you don’t have to perform, where all parts of you are welcome, and where change is allowed to unfold naturally, at a pace your system can trust.

From the outside, it looks like you have it all together. You're successful. Reliable. The person everyone counts on. You excel at work, take care of your family, keep the calendar organized, and somehow continue showing up for everyone else. But underneath the surface, you're exhausted.
Your mind never stops. You replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, struggle to relax, and feel guilty whenever you try to slow down. You wonder why everything feels so hard when your life looks "fine."

I have experience working with trauma, family and couple issues, mood disorders, anxiety, addiction and dual diagnosis, grief and bereavement, anger management, self esteem struggles, and postpartum and women's issues.

I believe that human suffering happens when the way we live our lives falls out of alignment with our internal compass. We are inherently driven to self-actualize and become the best version possible of ourselves; however, the reality is that we live in a very complex world that often steers us away from what we value. We often fall into this trap and begin to chase what society deems valuable, while being convinced that it's our true calling. This behavioral pattern is often piloted by our anxieties and relational trauma, which is what I am most fluent in, as a fellow human first, and a therapist second.

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.
