My ideal client would be where you find yourself trying to hold it together, and you may not look for help until a situation has gotten worse and its almost a crisis. That situation will significantly affect your life, and you will hit a breaking point. This might be self-esteem, anxiety, depression, adjusting to life changes, codependency, grief, health issues, or just feeling stuck. It's hard to ask for help but here you are, and what you thought might work is not working any more. You would find yourself in my office feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, confused but feeling like you had taken the first step to finding HOPE.

My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or emotional overwhelm—often high-functioning on the outside but internally exhausted from overthinking, self-doubt, or trying to maintain control. Many come to me when what they’ve been doing is no longer working. They’re not looking for surface-level support—they want real change. Through a collaborative and evidence-based approach, I help clients build awareness, face fears gradually (rather than avoid them), and develop practical tools to respond differ

I work with adults and teens struggling with OCD and anxiety, with an emphasis on taboo intrusive thoughts and perfectionism.
I specialize in taboo intrusive thoughts—specifically those related to sexuality or harm that feel disturbing and impossible to share. Many clients carry these in silence, fearing judgment while others remain unaware. I also focus on OCD driven by a need for order, which often shows up as rigidity and chronic over-preparation in high-pressure environments.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, and burnout who may feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to break.
If you're the person everyone counts on, you're probably used to staying calm on the outside even when your mind is racing inside. Professionals and caregivers often carry a lot without much room to breathe. Over time, it can show up as exhaustion you can't sleep off, a mind that won't quiet down, or a growing sense that you've lost yourself somewhere along the way. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or worn down by chronic stress, helping them feel more like themselves again.

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.
