My experience with treating OCD:

I’ve been a therapist since 2015, and now specialize in treating OCD. Before arriving at NOCD, I worked as a licensed counselor for those seeking help with OCD, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. My research led me to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, and I've learned how effective it is in treating any theme of OCD. I’m excited to work with you and use ERP to get you closer to your personal goals.

About Me

OCD interferes with your routines, relationships, and everyday life. It’s difficult to ignore those intrusive thoughts, resulting in a reliance on rituals and compulsions to relieve your anxiety, only for the anxiety and fears to return. I can show you how to live your life without being controlled by your OCD. Members describe me as caring, warm, and encouraging. I work to build a rapport by creating a safe space to share your experiences without judgment. I’ll also develop a structured series of ERP exercises to teach you how to overcome your OCD. Our sessions are a partnership, and together, we’ll bring you back to the same freedoms you once enjoyed

So far, beginning therapy on NOCD is the best thing I could've done. Traditional talk therapy just wasn't cutting it. Here's to moving forward!

I didn't want to do this but it really helped me. I realize this is something I will always have and struggle with but I now have the tools to reel myself back in when I start to backslide.
