About

From childhood, I've had compassion for anyone suffering from a mental health or substance use disorder. Several of my family members struggled with both throughout their lives. That compassion influenced me to pursue counseling as a profession. At NOCD, we specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. We have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD. When you start with NOCD, you’ll either work with me or be paired with one of my colleagues, depending on your preferences. We’ll get to know you and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. Plus, we offer support between sessions through direct messaging and a community of peers with OCD, ensuring you never feel alone. I encourage you to always remain transparent. Both of us will need to commit to a consistent level of trust during our work together. As your therapist, I'm extremely open to feedback, especially if you experience any discomfort or uneasiness in our communication.
