As a social worker, I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, grief/loss, life transitions, obsessive compulsive disorder, and trauma/PTSD.
“Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.” (Mandy Hale) Sometimes the path in life looks different from what was imagined or planned. This can cause anxiety, depression, loss of direction, overwhelming sensations, trauma/PTSD, compulsions, and various forms of grief. You do not have to navigate growth and change alone. Together we can create a safe and comfortable place where you can heal from pain and discover a bright path ahead.

Are you experiencing challenges and feeling helpless? Are you constantly worried and overwhelmed? Traumatic experiences often create a sense of helplessness. Finding a connection with a therapist can also be very stressful. If you struggle with anxiety, isolation and decreased self-image, I believe I can be the therapist for you. Becoming a therapist has allowed me to meet many brave people. The greatest honor any therapist can hope for is to witness hope and confidence be introduced to a person's life. As a therapist I focus on providing a shame and judgment free space for you to enjoy the ability to be safe, open and honest.

As Eckhart Tolle once mentioned, "most humans are never fully present in the now because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one, but then you miss your whole life, which is never not now." My focus is living in the present and being where your feet land, to be in the present and focus on the current. I received my master's degree Social Work from Wayne State University. I have provided mental health services to adolescents, younger adults, and seniors in psychiatric and medical health settings.

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.
