Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in 55105

I look forward to working with clients to collaborate and support changes they're wanting to make. I have been able to treat individuals with challenging symptoms who may not have been properly diagnosed and subsequently, have not received appropriate treatment. Many of my clients have never learned how to cope with intrusive and sometimes disturbing thoughts. The therapy I provide empowers clients with the skills needed to feel in control of their anxiety, impulsiveness and unhealthy habits. My clients will learn how to manage unwanted thoughts and to abandon coping through rituals, escape and avoidance behaviors.

Are you concerned about your child or adolescent? Are they struggling with peer relationships, divorce, school difficulties, worry, sadness, or behavioral issues? Are you struggling with how to respond to and manage your child's behaviors and emotions? My gentle yet direct approach helps children identify feelings and challenges, to problem solve and find new, productive ways to cope. I collaborate with parents and families in a way that has a child feeling supported, understood and cared about. I truly enjoy being invited into a child's world, and helping them feel empowered and equipped to get through life's challenges.

3/16/2024: We are accepting new clients! MPS is an outpatient psychotherapy clinic in Woodbury that specializes in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with mental health concerns. We commonly treat the following concerns: Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar Disorder), Anxiety Disorders (Generalized, Separation, Social, Phobias, Panic), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Tourettes/Motor Tic Disorder, Life and/or Family Changes, Grief and Loss, Psychosis, Trauma, and Attention & Focus Concerns (ADHD).

Being a human is not easy. The good news is that we don't have to navigate it alone. Psychotherapy is a partnership that can support and empower you through difficult experiences, find hope, and create a greater sense of meaning and purpose in your life.

Fit is an important factor in therapy. Why should you trust anyone to accompany you into the dark places if you're not allowed to see who they are? I work well with teenagers and adults who have hit roadblocks in other therapies. If you have suspected something maintains your suffering, or your child's, that remains hidden I might be a valuable therapeutic guide. I offer warmth, humor, and sharp analysis of the big picture as well as the details to help you identify what's holding you back and how to move forward differently in a clear, practicable way.

Do others tell you that you are too hard on yourself? Or perhaps you notice that you get stuck in a loop of worries? I am a therapist who works with adults experiencing: anxiety, panic attacks, perfectionism, social anxieties, life transitions, overwhelm, self-doubt, high sensitivity, neurodivergence (such as ADHD and OCD) , and the impact of trauma.

As a therapist I see how powerful the mind-body connection can be, not only in how we live our lives, but also how we respond to challenges and interact with others. We are not always able to choose the obstacles in life but I do believe we can work towards responding to them in ways that help us feel empowered and confident. By listening to and understanding our thoughts, feelings and physical sensations we are more effectively able to navigate life and choose paths that better suit our values.

On the journey to finding our authentic selves, we must learn to ground and connect before we can grown and flourish. This is exactly what Root & Rise Psychotherapy wishes to do. Let us help you on your own journey of running into yourself, making choices that honor your values, and moving forward in life with conscious awareness and confidence.

Maybe you’ve had some recent challenges and are eager to make some changes. You’ve felt stressed, overwhelmed, or unhappy. You used to be able to handle it all, but lately it hasn’t been as easy. Perhaps relationships and work have been harder to manage. You may even feel insecure, alone and like no one else could truly understand. You are ready to make changes now.

I believe in therapeutic relationships as a building block toward a more just future. The world changes for the better when transformed individuals spread their healing through their interactions with others. When you invite me into your process, I bring a deep commitment to our client-therapist relationship as a fulcrum for transformative change. My responsibility is to cultivate the conditions for you to lead that process of understanding and growth.

People come into therapy because they want something to change in their lives--how they feel, how they relate to others, how they handle stress. I enjoy working with people who want to commit to working in therapy; who have the courage to face the important issues; who want to work collaboratively with me to find the solutions to feeling better. I consider myself a guide and coach in this process as we get to know each other. It gives me great joy to watch my clients grow, change and start to enjoy life again.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression and would like to make changes in your life? Have you been faced with transitions such as relocating, career shift, or relationship struggles? Leaving a partner or community can be painful and isolating. By working together in a supportive environment we can find positive solutions to life's problems. I enjoy providing therapy for clients with anxiety and depression, as well as assisting adults with life transitions such as relationships, career, and relocating. I believe that honesty and a sense of humor create positive relationships.

I do analytic work in accord with training of the C. G. Jung Institut, Zurich. There is special attention to dreams, creativity, and attention to the unconscious. Depth psychology takes time, and people work diligently. In the process the whole personality is engaged. Jungian psychology is forward looking and may elucidate the way through difficult transition. I work for a reduced fee, in lieu of insurance payment. This is an opportunity to do Jungian Analysis at an affordable cost. I appreciate work with individuals that have done therapy, gained psychological understanding, and would like to go futher into depth psychology.
