Hi! My goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy should be a collaborative process, helping clients build self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Whether working through trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, the focus is on fostering resilience, improving emotional well-being, and strengthening connections. Ultimately, the aim is to help clients gain clarity, break free from unhelpful patterns, and move forward with confidence in themselves and their future.

For each of us, for better or worse the past follows into our future. We enjoy comforting memories of nurturing loved ones, and the resiliance that is the gift of a coach saying it's ok, just dust off and try again. Even those of us with the best of lives have experiences that haunt, too. Hurtful comments become sources of shame and guilt. Betrayals become inability to trust. Failed efforts turn to procrastination and avoidance. Grief, grudges, worries and feelings of overwhelm are normal experiences too. When old stories seep into your present robbing you of the joy you desire, it's time to talk.

You don't have to live in emotional pain! Experience healing today! Generally, our culture does not understand emotions very well. We're shamed for showing emotion. Many of us walk around with our emotional tanks empty. This can cause symptoms similar to trauma. It shows up in our relationships as conflict and our alone-time as anxiety and depression. Beyond that, many have experienced significant emotional trauma. Resorting to mere coping skills in an attempt to navigate trauma can offer some short term relief. However, true healing from emotional pain can be yours.

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.
