I work with adults, adolescents, and children struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (intrusive thoughts, reassurance seeking, and anticipatory anxiety), generalized anxiety, panic, PTSD symptoms, depression, pornography usage, addiction, bullying, Level 1 Autism, and family conflict.
Many of our struggles are due to overthinking. We overthink and fail to act in line with what we really care about. Instead, we engage in repeated behaviors that feel inevitable or irresistible. We overthink relationships, parenting, body sensations, the meaning of life, our fear of germs or illness, our faith, our fate, our fear that we will harm or be harmed, and we rehearse our arguments and resentments. If this is you, you are not alone. The root cause is a little different for everyone. The good news is that you can stop overthinking and start living. You can gain control over that loop of thoughts and behaviors.

I commonly work with clients experiencing low self-esteem, anxiety, OCD, life transitions, guilt, relationship issues, and parenting challenges.
Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety, guilt, shame, or low self-esteem? Do you have past or present hurts that you would like to heal? Are there relationships in your life that feel draining and exhausting? Do you have broken relationships that you would like to mend? Everyone comes across challenges in life that can leave them feeling overwhelmed, confused, and hurt. I believe through collaboration with a compassionate counselor you can heal wounds, experience peace, feel more confident, and repair broken relationships.

I find great personal reward in helping adults/children dealing with anxiety disorders such as obsessive/compulsive and adjustment disorders, as well as grief, trauma, and PTSD.
Our counseling philosophy is based on solution focused theory whereby we help individuals and families identify stressors which may lead to anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues and guide development of coping skills to problem solve. We find that learning to communicate with others in an assertive, non-aggressive manner facilitates creating a foundation for loving, supportive relationships. Although most sessions focus on a narrative, conversational approach, we often incorporate art therapy/play therapy in working with clients of all ages. Our clients are self-motivated individuals/families committed to improving their lives.

It is my desire to work with individuals and families to create lasting change in their lives. As one gains an understanding of their past, the experiences that have shaped them, and their responses to those situations, we can find a new path forward. We cannot move forward until we know where we have been on the journey of life. Through exploration, one can experience being known in a therapeutic context, thus learning the skills necessary to be known by those in our lives.

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.
