Healthy people seek out help and this is why I have great respect for anyone who takes the first step to seek out counseling. I enjoy working with any person who is motivated to overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or more severe disorders. I have worked at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center for over 10 years and have seen clients at Telehealth Hope Counseling for over 6 years. I have over 20 years of experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor supervisor and I have the experience needed to treat these problems.

*Currently offering telehealth appointments only* I work with adults and adolescents and have experience helping with a wide range of issues. The only prerequisite for therapy is that you or your loved ones are suffering and would like some help. Where appropriate and useful, I prefer to work intensively in an exploratory and supportive capacity to attend to long-standing and entrenched problems that seem resistant to change. If your goal is better self-understanding, enduring growth, and becoming more comfortable in your own skin, we may be a good match.

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.
