In my practice, I have the privilege of working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and with a range of presenting problems; including, individuals struggling with grief, depression, and
OCD
.
In one's walk towards wholeness and change, there are various barriers and hindrances one must overcome: The prism in which we view life, the messages we received about ourselves from our family of origin, what has happened to us and what we tell ourselves about it, our fear of feelings, and our learned coping mechanisms are just a few. As a Christian counselor, it is my desire to provide a safe and accepting environment in which we can walk and work together to expose, understand, and overcome these barriers.

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders,
obsessive
-compulsive disorders, body dysmorphia, and anxiety.
Some of the most powerful things we can do are to truly learn to understand and accept ourselves, practice self-compassion, and move forward in life being as authentic as possible. I work with adolescents and adults who are often exhausted from trying to fit the mold of what others or society expects in regard to their appearance, identity, relationships, education, and/or career. These efforts often leave folks feeling inferior and full of self-doubt. Through collaborative work, I strive for people to feel empowered and capable of fighting back against the inner critic and overcome fears to experience a life that is worth living.

People struggle, often silently, in several areas. This can be in fearing conflict with others, struggling with your faith, navigating unhealthy boundaries in relationships, wrestling with loneliness or dealing with self shame that may reside within your mind. It may feel like a constant cycle that is difficult to break on your own. These are some of the areas where I can come along side you to help you with whatever you are going through. Life is hard enough to figure out on your own. Fortunately therapy with me provides a space to feel safe in dealing with your problems and helps you develop resources to solve these.

Is anxiety or depression holding you back or pushing you around? Or do you feel helpless as you watch your teenager struggle, losing touch with what was once most important to them? Are worries or self-criticisms leaving you feeling exhausted, disconnected, and missing out on what once mattered most to you? I understand this struggle. My work focuses on helping individuals learn the skills to take back their life. However, I believe in going beyond just treating the symptoms on the surface - I want to help you get back in touch with what is truly meaningful and important in your life, and to be the best and most authentic you.

How long does OCD treatment take?
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.
