About

As an OCD therapist, I work to create an atmosphere that's safe and non-judgmental. I'm very compassionate about the challenges you're facing. I can offer you hope—ERP is a proven strategy to reduce OCD symptoms. In therapy, I'm always thinking long-term. When our sessions are over, I want you to be able to recognize and challenge obsessions and compulsions as they come, even if they may change. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified clinical trauma professional. I've also treated depression and anxiety.

I’m really thankful for my check-in with Stephaney today. She was very understanding and kind without reassuring. She gave me steps to take until our next session and I’m always thankful for the balance she provides of listening and then actionable steps.

So forever thankful for my experience with NOCD and the tools it has provided for me. It’s twofold really; I am able to check in with my therapist whenever I need, but I also now know how to practice ERP on myself and will carry it with me going forward 🤍 I tell so many people about it!

It definitely hard, and there are times where it can feel scary and impossible. But I trust the process and I trust that these things are working, even when it doesn’t feel like it. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.

I received my diagnosis of OCD (Religious OCD subtype) in the spring if this year from my healthcare provider. And while a diagnosis and validation of all my experiences was super helpful, my healthcare provider stopped there. She offered me medication and a diagnosis, but not an effective therapy plan that is science-backed and sustainable. I felt stuck for a month or two with my diagnosis until I found NOCD on Instagram one night. On faith, I decided to sign up and seek out some targeted therapy. It has been amazing. Not easy, not fun, not happy, but amazing. My therapist, Stephaney, and helped me tremendously all without providing reassurance 😉 I am a testimony to ERP’s effectiveness and just facing your obsessive fears head on and resisting compulsions. I praise God for NOCD and the effective tools it has given me. I’m not out of the OCD journey, and I probably never will be. But I can still follow Jesus, live in the present, and enjoy my life again, outside of OCD’s tight grip.

Stephaney is doing a great job working with my son; she accepts his distracted moments and finds ways to engage him in the work of talking about his fears and how to handle them without doing compulsions.

I have been seeing Stephaney for five months and she has been outstanding. Her expertise in treating patients with OCD has been apparent, and she has been patient and supportive throughout our time together. When we started, I was struggling at work, at home and in my social life. I was constantly ruminating about work-related stressors and giving in to checking behavior to make sure my emails, text messages etc. were all "just right". Stephaney helped me understand my OCD, identify my triggers and respond to them appropriately. She deployed ERP techniques and gave me the tools I needed to experience my triggers without giving in to my compulsions. And now, after a few months of working together, I feel better than I have in years. I would highly recommend Stephaney to anyone who is struggling with OCD.

Stephaney is so great! I feel seen and heard, and she always has helpful ideas and insights. I have been meeting with Stephaney for a while now, and I am so so grateful for our sessions. Before meeting with Stephaney I was really struggling with OCD and didn’t see any way out. But these days I am just LOVING life to an extent I didn’t even think was possible. I am still amazed by this.

I absolutely LOVED my first session with Stephaney! Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and professional, she was also very warm, patient, friendly, compassionate, and accepting. It seems like she really cares about helping the people she works with and she listens without judgement. I like that she is so easy to talk to, and when my first session concluded I was left feeling both seen/ heard and really optimistic about my future. I feel like she’ll be able to help me work to get my life back and to achieve my treatment goals. I highly recommend Stephaney and can’t wait for our next meeting!

The OCD therapy itself was good; I made some progress, and I have the tools to potentially make more progress in the future. I just backslide when I’m under high stress (which has happened a lot lately). What ISN’T great or helpful is the administrative team contacting me out of the blue more than a year later with a generic, poorly-coded, automated email that told me I owed <badly automated code that showed up as code instead of the amount>. When I reached out to double-check that my account was in good standing, I discovered I’d been lied to more than a year prior, when the admin team assured me they had the auto-payments set up correctly (after I’d been compulsively checking them and noticing I *wasn’t* being charged my copay to begin with). I did the ERP work to sit with the uncertainty and trust the admin team’s word that they’d gotten the autopayments right this time. (I’ll admit I did compulsively check until the first one went through, but then I did ERP to *not* check the rest of them.) Lo and behold, I SHOULD have been compulsively checking them, and the admin team has destroyed my trust in the ERP process now. The person I talked to gave me three different amounts that I owed over the course of three emails over 24 hours. I finally went back and added everything up myself and came up with a fourth amount I owed. I will be paying that amount over the course of the next few months in installments, but it is HIGHLY disappointing that I’ve been burned by yet ANOTHER therapy program where I was lied to, and it turned out that my trust was misplaced and my compulsions were justified, and I should have given into those compulsions to keep checking up on the automated payments *every* time I had a session.
