Areas of emphasis with clients include PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsessive behaviors, paranoia, schizophrenia, and Bipolar disorder.
I fully believe that we all have the ability to be better, in many ways. We can learn to adjust , adapt, change, and be in control. We can learn to control our emotions, behaviors, actions, and thoughts. Awareness and mindfulness is attainable, we can learn this, and thus control the outcomes of our lives. We can't control the world around us, but we can control ourselves, and therefore, dictate how we live our lives, happy, and fulfilled. I earned a Bachelor and Master of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky from years 1996-2001. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Kentucky.

I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling and skin picking. OCD does not always look like handwashing and concerns about germs - sometimes it's intrusive thoughts with the desire for reassurance. OCD frequently fixates on what’s important in a person’s life and common sub-types include worries about health issues, sexuality, fear of pedophilia, harming self/others, contamination, concerns about religion/ morality, or obsessions about relationships. If this sounds like you it is important to know that therapy can help you get your life back!

My ideal client is someone who is interested in making changes, who understands that therapy is a collaborative process, and who is willing to work on themselves both inside and outside of the therapy office. They want to heal from something, learn healthy coping strategies, and embark upon a journey of self-love and self-improvement. The goal is to try to be better than you were yesterday, while learning to be kinder to yourself, understand yourself better, and feel better too. The goal is never to be perfect, but to break down old, unhelpful thinking patterns, resolve internal and external struggles, and grow as a person.

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.
