My approach is primarily cognitive behavioral and I have over thirty years of experience. I work mostly with adults with depression and anxiety disorders. OCD is a special interest, and I use exposure and response prevention. I believe that with patience, a positive outlook and good rapport, much is possible.

I work with people who want to reclaim the story of their lives. Some of us lost years fulfilling someone else's narrative- -but it's never too late to become yourself. You can determine the genre of story you live in, the type of protagonist you become. I try to help people navigate the excitement of infinite potential and the terror of infinite choice.

I fully believe that we must understand where we came from to better understand how we deal with situations today. Our past has made us who we are today, and we respond to our needs by what we have learned from our past. I've spent the last 24 years trying to better understand how to support people as they learn who they want to be and work towards their goals. I try to make a safe and comfortable setting where we can talk about what you want in life and how to achieve it. You will find me to be pretty laid back and easy to talk to.

Hello, my name is Lindsey & my experience includes treating people of all ages, genders and sexual preferences with various problems including, but not limited to, grief, physical, sexual and verbal abuse, sexual identity, self-esteem, anger, depression & anxiety. I believe, for therapy to be most effective, it is imperative to uncover the underlying beliefs and events that are the root of one's present day problem(s). I view the therapeutic relationship as one in which a team effort is required; the therapist and client and in some situations, one's family and/or significant other, must work together to make change.

One of the bravest things you can do is to take a deep dive into understanding your story. Your story may be filled with emotional turmoil, trauma, and overwhelming anxiety on how you’ll be able to pull through to the other side. Take a deep breath, relax, and let’s rewrite your story together. I invite you to talk about the taboo things (no topic is off limits), become comfortable in your own skin, and take the journey with me through self-exploration to finally arrive at your authentic self.

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.
