Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Sulphur Springs, TX
I believe in creating an environment which serves as a ‘soft place to land’ for my clients. When children are challenged, the entire family is challenged. By creating a positive environment where children feel accepted, valued, and safe, they are able to make sense of their world by expressing themselves in a way that feels natural to them. Children do not always have words to communicate their struggles and can become overwhelmed by big emotions. As a Registered Play Therapist, I strive to give voice to these challenges and support caregivers in navigating the sometimes difficult and very important job of parenting.

Whether you're managing OCD, social anxiety, or the kind of persistent worry that follows you everywhere, you deserve more than white-knuckling through another day.
Let's start a collaborative journey where we understand your challenges, uncover patterns of avoidance, and set goals that feel meaningful and achievable. For OCD, social anxiety, or specific phobias, I use exposure-based therapies to help you make sense of how anxiety keeps you stuck, then gradually face fears in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Northeast Texas. After a rewarding career as a teacher and public school counselor, I made the decision to start working as an LPC and I have never regretted making the change. What I have learned from both careers is that building mutually trusting relationships is important for solving problems and creating change. Open communication within our relationship will allow us to move forward with treatment options that will truly work. If anxiety, depression, trauma, or other issues are keeping you from living your best life, it is time to take the steps towards healing and peace.

Are you currently riding the "struggle bus" of life? You're definitely not alone! Life is full of challenges, constant change, and sometimes, overwhelming feelings of anxiety, sadness, and hopelessness.
Unfortunately, all of us will go through hard things if we live long enough! We will experience life stressors such as: grief when loved ones die, and traumatic events that shape the way we view ourselves and the world around us.
If we are self-aware and have developed great coping skills, we will adapt and change in a healthy way. Or, we may turn to unhealthy habits to cope that lead us to more suffering.

Our clients almost always come to us because they feel "blocked" by something inside. Something prevents them from moving forward, and they don't know what it is. We show them in the first session exactly what the brand new fMRI research shows is stopping them from change and how we will overcome it with hypnosis. Stress, fears, sleep problems, chronic pain, sexual problems, depression, bad habits, addictions, all result from the fact that our subconscious mind is out of tune with our conscious desires. Hypnotism is uniquely qualified to address that very quickly, without months and months of talking with no results.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, and ADHD. I also have expertise in supporting children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Individuals under the age of 18 often face difficulties in forming and maintaining healthy relationships with both family members and peers. Childhood and adolescence can be particularly challenging developmental periods, and during this time, many young people benefit from additional guidance and a trusted professional with whom they can build a strong therapeutic rapport.

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.
