I'm an empathetic therapist. You’ll always have my support to get through to the other side, and we’ll keep working, no matter what. I have more than 20 years of experience as a professional counselor, and I believe my entire career has led me to specialize in OCD. I love working with NOCD members because I get to see real change in everyone I work with. When NOCD members do good exposure exercises, I've seen change quickly. I work with adults and adolescents; my additional specializations include hoarding and tic disorders.

Therapy with Ken literally gave me my life back. While my OCD will always challenge me every day, he’s given me the tools to tackle those challenges. Forever grateful!

Ken was not my first therapist, but I consider him as my #1 therapist because he’s been a great resource in my OCD recovery. He always takes time to listen and very good at guiding me in recovery when I have bad days. Every person’s experience with OCD is unique, but I chose Ken because his experience allows him to truly understand how isolating, strange, and uncomfortable my experience with OCD can be.
