You may look fine on the outside, but alcohol has started to cost you more than you want to admit. Maybe you’ve tried to cut back, promised yourself this time would be different, or felt the shame and frustration of ending up in the same place again. Drinking is affecting your peace of mind, your relationships, and the way you feel about yourself. You don’t just want to stop the cycle—you want to feel in control again.

I specialize in working with OCD, anxiety, depression, and life’s tougher moments—whether it’s grief, transitions, or simply feeling stuck.
I know how overwhelming it feels when your thoughts start running the show—when anxiety, doubt, or intrusive worries take up too much space in your life. Maybe you’ve tried pushing through, rationalizing, or ignoring it, but it just keeps coming back. If you’re exhausted from the cycle, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I have experience in many specialty areas, including general anxiety and depression, perinatal mental health (for both men and women), infertility support, OCD, trauma, and navigating major life transitions.
I can help you reconnect with yourself and find the balance that lets you thrive as the best version of you! Many of my clients come to me feeling like they’ve lost their identity while juggling the demands of family, work, and societal expectations. They put so much pressure on themselves to be perfect that it leads to anxiety and depression. It's lonely and isolating. I am here to show you that there is hope and meaning in your future. The cycle can be reversed, and you may be surprised how capable and incredible you are with the support of a caring therapist like me.

In the journey into adult life, there are inherent pressures associated with child development, including anxiety and the struggles with self-image. I entered the mental health field because I can empathize with these pressures and wanted to help others experiencing similar difficulties. I enjoyed being a support system to family and peers; also feeling that a key component to an effective support system is guidance to discover solutions, I translated that passion into my adult life.

I work with adults feeling stuck, navigating trauma, or who have OCD or obsessive thoughts.
Therapy with me is collaborative, and we go at your pace. It's okay if you struggle to open up at first...that isn't failure, it's information. Clients often tell me they had no idea how tense they'd been. EMDR works with the trauma loops your brain is still running. Breathwork is for the nervous system. Talk keeps you in the driver's seat.

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.
