I am passionate about working with people who have anxiety disorders and OCD - in my experience they are clear how long they have suffered, they work hard in treatment, and, then, they get better. That, to me, is the point of treatment... to feel better and to start doing the things in life that matter to you. Anxiety and OCD can make you feel horribly stuck in fears and upsetting thoughts, often having thoughts that leave you confused or terrified. My treatment specialty, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), aims to make thoughts less scary and to make things that feel impossible... easier.

I have specialized training in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and in Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD.
It is frustrating to feel stuck. It is painful to feel alone and misunderstood, even if you are in a committed relationship. It is exhausting to fight your own thoughts. The questions that you are asking yourself right now show that you have the strength needed to heal and to grow.

Hello, and welcome. I have been practicing clinical psychology for almost 35 years, and am currently working primarily with clients struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I treat adults and teenagers, and I especially enjoy working with college students. While I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) I find that my clients are responding best to Inference Based CBT (ICBT), a relatively new modality in which I have received extensive training. My style is warm, inviting, and collaborative.

If you are feeling lost or unsure where to go, having a guide can help with that. If you are feeling anxious, worried, or feel as though you need to do some general processing, you don’t have to do it alone. Once we work through whatever is holding you down, you may be surprised with how free you will feel.

Clients often have historically been able to cope with the stresses of life, but symptoms such as depression, anxiety, poor focus, sleep or appetite disturbance, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, or relationship conflict are becoming hard to manage. Supporting through changing life circumstances such as relocation, divorce, employment related stressors, performing in high demand jobs or educational programs, and managing life as a working parent is of primary interest.

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.
