My approach to treating OCD includes patience and a real understanding that this process may be uncomfortable at times. Please choose to use these temporary feelings as an indicator that you're headed in the right direction. Therapy may be challenging at first; that's completely normal. Take your time and ask questions. My other specialties include body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRB's), autism, substance use, family dynamics, and bipolar disorder.

Amara is amazing! She is always so positive & encouraging. Always reminding me to tell OCD to go away and that I am a good person. I have made so much progress & am hopeful that with Amara's help, I can 1 day kiss my compulsion to check things goodbye!

Amara is incredible. She is so knowledgeable about OCD and gives such great suggestions on how I can talk back to it and also ways that I can better my relationship with my family so that I can decrease my anxiety. I am very happy with our sessions.

D.B.
Amara and I just started together recently and has been very helpful and insightful in our sessions, reframing things I said to make sure we were on the same page. The exposures and tools she has given me have helped me look at my OCD/Anxiety and recovery in a new way. I feel very comfortable with her, she understands and is easy to talk to.
