Licensed Therapist, LCSW
About
When it comes to treating OCD, I'm empathetic, direct, and collaborative. I recognize there are phases of change that occur in your treatment and will meet you where you are to help you feel empowered to reach your goals. This is a safe and non-judgemental space. I want you to be as honest as possible in sharing your story. This helps me to better support you on your journey of recovery and improved quality of life. I also treat other anxiety disorders, BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors), depression, and body dysmorphic disorder.

The therapist helps me to understand how I can cope with my compulsions. We do exercises that I can use on a daily basis. She listens what I have to say and how I feel.

Slowly but surely my son is getting comfortable with his discomfort. I’m doing less reassurance.

I think Celeste understood what we as a family have been going through and she was honest with my son that he is an integral part of this process and that he has to want to get better in order for the therapy to work.

Celeste is amazing! She’s knowledgeable, intuitive, sensitive and creates a safe environment to help my 15 yr old feel comfortable to be honest and vulnerable in her answers. I’m extremely grateful to have found this resource and Celeste as her therapist!
