Plano, TX 75024
I understand the overwhelming struggle of navigating life with OCD and anxiety disorders.
Living in this perpetual state of anxiety often leads to isolation. You find yourself canceling plans, falling behind at work, or avoiding places that trigger panic attacks. It's a lonely road that keeps you from the joy of connecting with others, making it difficult to maintain relationships and hindering your ability to enjoy the things you once loved.

Plano, TX 75024
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and many anxiety disorders.
If intrusive thoughts, constant doubt, reassurance-seeking, checking, or avoidance are taking over life, therapy can help. I work with children, teens & adults who feel stuck in thought loops and want more than insight alone. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I help clients face fears in a practical, step-by-step way so anxiety stops calling the shots. My style is warm, steady, and collaborative, especially for people who have felt misunderstood, judged, or exhausted by trying to manage symptoms on their own. Together, we build confidence, tolerance for uncertainty, and momentum toward freedom with less fear, day by day.

I’m sure at times it didn’t seem like I was listening but your words and lessons are ones I treasure dearly and live by daily. You’re like my zen subconscious I turn to when things get prickly. Thank you for believing in me when I couldn’t believe in myself”

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC

I am an accomplished therapist specializing in OCD, anxiety, and stress management.
Life is hard enough without our own brains getting in the way. External circumstances-whether social, familial, school or work related-can challenge us beyond the point where we feel like we can cope, leading to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. In such cases, we can sometimes become our own worst enemies, imposing counter-productive and negative judgments on ourselves. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, my role is to provide a safe, judgment-free environment in which we can address the issues together, discover solutions, and cultivate clarity and personal growth.

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.
