I specialize in anxiety disorders,
OCD
and
OCD
-related disorders, and also treat BDD and body-focused repetitive disorders (BFRBs), using the "gold standard" interventions including COMB and ERP, PE and CPT for PTSD, and CBTi for insomnia.
You’ve been thinking for a while now about taking care of the anxiety, either yours or your child’s that gets in the way of living your life. You’ve thought of it as you lay awake at night, waiting for sleep to come, or tried alternative treatments, but the problems inexplicably return. Sometimes it feels hopeless. But guess what? If you're taking care of so many responsibilities, you have the ability to solve your problems. Stop putting it off. You deserve your best life, instead of a stressed life. Commit to making life a little easier, and less stressed, using CBT and exposure therapy.

The primary focus of my practice is anxiety disorders and I specialize in
OCD
.
"The therapeutic relationship is central to the process of change and growth in psychotherapy. I strive to create the trust and support that is essential to reaching therapeutic goals. The psychotherapy process involves identifying and working through areas of difficulty, along with removing obstacles that get in the way of living a more satisfying, authentic, and meaningful life. I believe there is an inherent wisdom within each of us, but we sometimes become lost and lose our connection. With warmth, understanding, and mutual respect, I join the client as an ally on the journey toward healing."

treatment. Because, eating disorders co-occur with many other psychological diagnoses including PTSD,

The longest path a person will take is the eighteen inches from their head to their heart. I am sure many can relate. It is not a journey that is for the feint of heart. Usually one does not choose it but we are chosen. I have been on this path for most of my life. I would love to help you on your journey, as your coach, spiritual guide and counselor.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
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.
