Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Tonawanda, NY
I strive to make it a priority to create a comfortable environment to explore stressors that may be related to anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, grief and loss, or other life adjustments.
I find value and importance of incorporating self-compassion into our work together. Often anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as life stressors can cause us to be our own worst enemy or think negatively about ourselves. Learning to care for ourselves while being kind can help immensely.

Does your childhood still hold you back? I have worked with all ages in helping them identify and process challenges from childhood where they'd like to experience healing. Childhood proves to be such a foundational time in life and trauma we experience growing up impacts us in many ways. Some common phrases you might say to yourself are "I'm too young to feel this old", "I don't really feel like an adult", or "I never really had a childhood". All of these phrases point back to childhood trauma. My practice offers a space to reprocess these experiences and develop resources to help you get back in the driver's seat of your life.

Our minds are incredible tools for experiencing life- and yet , the mind can so easily slip into anxiety and overthinking. Our memories can bring us joy and a sense of identity, but we can also get "stuck" in past patterns & hurts. Therapy is a unique type of relationship focused on your empowerment and growth. We'll work together to create awareness around those mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns. From here, we'll seek ways to implement positive, conscious changes, based on your personal values and desires.

Life doesn’t always go the way we planned. Sometimes we get stuck and find ourselves feeling hopeless. You are not alone.

If you're feeling anxious, stuck, or weighed down by daily life, you're not alone - and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. Maybe you're tired of repeating old patterns or feeling like you're constantly in survival mode. Therapy can be a place to slow down, get curious, and begin to feel more connected to yourself and others. I'm here to help you navigate the healing process together and at your own pace. Along with my work treating anxiety, trauma, and attachment issues, I am especially passionate about supporting military service members, veterans, and their families.

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.
