Licensed Therapist, LPC, LMHC
About
It is my intention to provide a compassionate and accepting space where people feel all parts of them are welcome. In this space, I work primarily with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). It's an amazing modality that offers an organic, ever-growing, and changing foundation that people will have with them for the rest of their lives. It's truly an honor to do this work. In addition to OCD, my other focus areas include trauma, anxiety disorders, grief and loss, relationships and codependency, and recovery from addiction.

Mary Kay Rose is the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and gracious therapist a person with OCD could have. She takes the time to explain the parts of OCD and ERP I don’t understand, and she is patient as I work through my thoughts. She helps me sit with the anxiety, never makes me feel judged, and she laughs with me as we find the humor in OCD that only people who live with it can appreciate. I am so lucky to have her as a therapist and am grateful to NOCD!

NOCD has been amazing for my recovery. I think education is a huge part of overcoming the OCD beast. NOCD has amazing content and information available and does a fantastic job. I am so grateful for them. I can’t even imagine how people lived with this disorder before NOCD and other educational tools. My therapist Mary Kay Rose is AMAZING. The kindest, most non-judgmental person and so knowledgeable on OCD. She helps you realize that no, you aren’t crazy and yes, people do have these thoughts — but they really don’t mean anything at the core. I have learned so much and am so grateful. For anyone on the fence about doing ERP — DO IT. It’s the hardest thing you will ever do but so worth it on the other side. Thank you NOCD!!

Awesome amazing therapy. Life changing. First time in over a decade of therapy and many therapists, where I feel like I am making actual progress and reaching actual peace, and gaining actual strength. It has given me a true strength I didn’t know was possible. It is hard to put into words the relief and happiness I have felt from working with a therapist that is specialized in OCD. NOCD guarantees it and it has been unbelievable and I am only getting stronger. :). Thank you NOCD and thank you to my therapist!

I struggle with OCD ever since I can remember it's been a long journey of it and now it's time to squash it and to make it work to where I don't have it anymore or the thought of. My therapist has been very helpful by showing me tasks and things I could do to try to stop the urges. I recommend nocd to everyone I come in contact with just in case they might know someone who might be suffering like us.
