We are at the vanguard of a scientific revolution in psychology and neuroscience. Research has repeatedly demonstrated that by synchronizing emotional, behavioral, and physical health, we increase our capacity to understand, cope, and overcome anxiety, OCD, ADHD, depression, or other issues that prevent us from reaching our maximum potential in life. By implementing the latest research and clinically proven methods/techniques, we are able to gain a much more accurate picture of ourselves and the world around us. Therefore, we are able to find hope, formulate solutions, take action, create opportunities and achieve the life we want.

My specialty is helping individuals with OCD/OCPD alleviate obsessive thoughts & compulsive behaviors, teaching couples how to navigate conflict & increase intimacy, and assisting families in maintaining connection despite differences. Unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors occur when we are directed by core beliefs that do not align with our values or our current reality. I can teach you how to address these core beliefs and live a life that allows you to honor your values while maintaining your important relationships. You can achieve this through Core Belief Therapy.

I work with adults 18 years and up, treating anxiety in its many forms ( OCD, worry, fear, panic), mood problems (depression, bipolar), sexual issues, trauma, grief, relationship issues, military lifestyle issues, and health worries.
Feeling emotionally uncomfortable may signal that change is presenting you with an opportunity. But maybe you're not sure what to do about it. Using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are what will help us identify old patterns of thinking and acting which may be causing problems for you in the present. My counseling work focuses on you as a whole person and respects the dimensions of mind, body and spirit. This is a safe, confidential place to explore your feelings and expand your options.

My education is well suited to Scrupulosity (religious OCD).
God intends for us to be happy and content while the struggles of this world constantly attack the very foundation of our mental health. Things like intrusive thoughts of fear, jealously, inferiority, anger, mistrust, unforgiveness, and guilt rob us of our confidence and sense of wellbeing. Obsessive behavior or feelings of anxiety or depression can prevent or erode relationships that add so much to our lives. Healthy work relationships, marriage, and family relationships are all negatively or positively impacted by our perception. Our behavior will not change until our thinking changes. Why continue in pain when there is a relief.

I have the privilege of working with children (12+) and adults who are navigating various challenges in their lives. I am certified in Brainspotting, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy, and Neurofeedback. I have a particular interest in OCD, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. At the core of my counseling philosophy lies a balance between empathy and challenge. With deep compassion, I believe that every feeling is valid, though I also understand that not all emotions lead to a fulfilling life without thoughtful exploration and intention.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Does your mind spiral with "what ifs" and worries? Your brain is probably exhausted and this is affecting your ability to focus and be present. It's difficult to manage all the demands of life. You're tired and know that something needs to change. But you feel stuck and you're not sure what change would look like. You're looking for a safe space to talk, and to find peace. You are not alone and there is help.

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.
