Being caught in a cycle of troubling, unwanted obsessions and compulsions can be highly disruptive to everyday life. Effective OCD treatment can improve symptoms markedly and help clients enjoy life again. With 25 years of experience and specialized training in treating OCD, I have the expertise and passion to help clients improve long-term functionality and reclaim their lives.
I earned my Master's of Science in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University in 1998, and I'm a, member of the International OCD Foundation. I’ve worked at a number of sites, governmental and private, throughout my lengthy career, but private outpatient counseling and psychotherapy remains my first love.
Telehealth has made it simple and easy for counselors and patients to connect from the comfort of their own spaces. No matter where you are in the state of Georgia, I can provide my counseling and psychotherapy services to you.
Many people suffering with OCD receive mental health treatment for years before receiving an accurate diagnosis and proper therapy. I provide assessment and evidence-based treatment that allow clients to live their lives fully.
Whether you experience generalized or social anxiety, panic disorder, specific phobias, or other anxiety disorders, I provide specialized therapy to facilitate symptom improvement and fuller engagement with life. As your therapist, I’ll teach you new skills and coping mechanisms you can use daily.
My goal is to provide services to individual adults using specialized treatment approaches, allowing the client and I to choose a therapeutic approach tailored specifically for them.
This form of therapy is an evidence-based group of treatments that focus on understanding the connections between thoughts and feelings, and how these affect behavior. These types of approaches tend to be more structured and shorter in duration than longer-term psychotherapy. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is included in CBT.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another type of empirically-based CBT that focuses on living according to one’s values while using acceptance and mindfulness strategies to improve psychological flexibility.
This evidence-based approach considers OCD to be a reasoning disorder that results in obsessional doubts and compulsions. I-CBT achieves symptom relief by teaching clients to rely on their five senses and present moment experience. Through this approach, clients learn to trust themselves and what they know to be true rather than imagined possibilities. This metacognitive treatment offers recovery without prescribed exposures.
