My primary objective when clients begin counseling is to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment to speak openly. I believe in the progression of change and enjoy working with various challenges that life presents to us. I strive to use a collaborative style of counseling, focused on helping clients gain a sense of empowerment. My emphasis is on the importance of increasing insight and awareness, as well as strengthening one's relationships and support systems.

My ideal client is someone who knows that something is wrong but is having difficulty making it right; someone who may know that they cannot control negative thoughts and behaviors and feel "stuck" in their current situation; someone who needs tools and help to make their life better. My ideal client may know what their goals are but don't know how to achieve them or someone who is struggling to define their goals. In short, my ideal client is anyone who wants to begin or continue to improve their lives. Call, text or e-mail me to schedule a free 30 minute consultation so that you can decide if I can help.

Loveland, CO 80537
I work with adults to help them live a more satisfying and connected life. We all move towards heath and I collaborate with my clients' own inner wisdom to encourage this natural movement to find meaning and joy. I use a variety of approaches to meet the client's needs and draw from Humanistic, Cognitive, and Jungian theoretical orientations in my practice to support my clients. I am passionate about working with women to help them recognize their strengths, build self esteem, define boundaries and find a voice. I now offer online scheduling on my website.

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.
