Maybe you've been overwhelmed for a while, or just not like yourself lately. You want to feel better, but feel held back by anxious thoughts and emotions that are hard to manage. Sometimes in life, we get stuck, reliving a difficult past or worried about an uncertain future. I like to help people get back to living in the present. Maybe that's by processing through parts of your story, learning to cope with anxiety, or having someone alongside you as you navigate big life changes. It may look like letting go of shame, or gaining new perspectives on yourself and your relationships. We can work through it together at your pace.

If life has you feeling like Atlas bearing the weight of the sky or Sisyphus pushing a boulder up the mountain, you may have lost the purpose and peace that makes life meaningful. Battles and challenges of existence leave us with invisible weights and chains, stifling our voice, our will, and our inner power. I specialize in working with neurodivergency, caregivers, and women; those learning to unmask and embrace their truth, or those who are navigating overwhelming life transitions and identity shifts. Whatever your needs may be, therapy can be a space to rest, to rediscover your voice, and to remember who you are and once were.

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.
