Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Fairview, TN
In addition to specializing in trauma, I enjoy assisting those who struggle to find hope, peace, and connection due to OCD, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, divorce, parenting challenges, substance use, bipolar disorder, chronic loneliness, insomnia, and neurodivergence.
Maybe you’ve been through something that changed you — a loss, a betrayal, a childhood that never felt safe — and no matter how hard you try, it’s hard to move forward. As an EMDR practitioner and one of only three certified TIST therapists in Tennessee, I specialize in helping people untangle the effects of trauma so they can begin to feel more whole, grounded, and connected to who they truly are — even if they’ve never had the chance to feel that way before. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in both science and compassion. Trauma isn’t just about what happened — it’s about what’s still happening inside you.

If not for the friends and counselors in my life, I don't know where I would be today. Growing up in Colombia during a time of civil unrest, I witnessed much suffering and was personally touched by it as I experienced the murder of my father. The effects this had on me and my family are what lead me to the place of seeking help. We all need someone who will listen, comfort, and guide us towards health and healing. As a recipient of great care, I passionately aspire to give what has been given to me.

In addition to Anxiety and ADHD, I specialize in working with clients on OCD (esp. morality, sexual, and taboo obsessions), gender/non-binary exploration, queer-focused sex therapy, high-control church + cult trauma, and ethical non-monogamy.
Living in "unprecedented times" can make it feel like mental health has to be on the back burner, but I believe in prioritizing joy and rest to endure what feels impossible. Using evidence-based, trauma-informed practices, I work with clients to find their true selves and help strip away external stressors so they feel prepared to take on the rest of life. I enjoy helping others navigate difficult conversations and establish healthy boundaries with those around them. It is normal for the therapy process to feel a bit intimidating, but my sessions are informal and individually tailored. Neurodiverse? You'll feel right at home!

As a therapist specializing in OCD, anxiety, and trauma, I know it can be hard to open up about intrusive thoughts or past experiences.
Are you exhausted by your own mind? Maybe it's constant worry or ruminating thoughts that won't let up. Maybe it's a memory or past experience that still feels too close, showing up in ways you didn't expect. Maybe you've gone through a big change, like becoming a mom, or got out of a relationship, and you just don't feel like yourself anymore. You try to be present, but something always pulls you back, leaving you drained and on edge. You're ready for a change. Not just to quiet the noise, but to understand where it's really coming from, so you can finally feel like yourself again. That's exactly what we'll work toward together.

Anxiety, OCD, and trauma affect all of us differently and can create maladaptive survival skills.
Sometimes, our minds simply won’t slow down especially when dealing with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the impact of past or ongoing trauma can feel heavy, confusing, and at times frightening. It can be hard to make sense of what you’re feeling, let alone know what to do next. You might be stuck in loops of overthinking, replaying conversations, or questioning your own thoughts. It can be exhausting to feel like your mind never gives you a break. We all need a space where we can feel safe, heard, seen, and cared about as we work through the hard and hidden spots in us.

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.
