My goal is to allow client to openly address their levels of fear, depression and issues relating to their disorder. Many factors from past encounters result in high levels of depression and mental health conditions. My goal is to allow my client to address these fears and use my services as a three stage process to function independently with the least amount of medication and therapeutic interventions as possible. My overall goal is to address condition using alternative therapeutic problem solving interventions, while at the same time helping them to make changes based on their current condition. Phone session is free!!!

My practice is focused on helping unique individuals understand and accept themselves, manage anxiety and stress, and engage in healthy relationships. I support clients impacted by factors that not everyone understands - chronic illness, neurodivergence, religious trauma. Maybe you've wondered how others seem to make it through the day with ease while you're stuck on hard mode. Or you have an outwardly successful life with inward struggles no one would guess. You're caught in a loop of something that's not working - unfulfilling relationships, creative blocks, overanalyzing - and want to find a new approach.

I'm Devan, and I tend to work best with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, difficulties with relationships, depression, OCD, and Borderline Personality disorder.
Self-compassion is at the heart of my therapeutic approach. It’s about treating yourself with the same kindness, care, and understanding that you would offer to a close friend.

I am also experienced at using elements of ERP or ExRP for various subtypes of OCD.
I believe in the power of spaces where humans can safely be their full, authentic selves. In an extremely isolating world, therapy can help you build a foundation of intimacy with the self that unlocks your ability to be more present in your relationships, more connected with your values, and better able to offer compassion to your wounded parts. I primarily see young adults and LGBTQIA+ people who feel ‘stuck’ in typical talk therapy and need help challenging patterns of avoidance.

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.
