I've personally struggled with anxiety and depression, which runs in my family. I know that with effort, you can overcome these challenges. I've helped many people make changes to improve their lives. My approach to treating OCD is warm but direct. Treatment takes effort, and with effort, you will see results. My goal is to help you become your own therapist. Beyond OCD, I've trained as a marriage and family therapist and an art therapist, and I've also focused on anxiety and mood disorders.

Good experienceJen continues to be so helpful to me. She gives me techniques and suggestions I can use on my own at anytime I may be struggling with ruminating.

J.T.
Good experienceIt is obvious that Jennifer knows OCD. I've had other therapists claim to treat OCD but are not actually equipped to do so. I feel like I'm in good hands.
J.H.
Good experienceIt's felt like a long process, but with Jen's outstanding help, I'm feeling good and have made a lot of progress.
J.H.
Good experienceJen is sooooo helpful to me!
M.B.
Good experienceJen has helped me tremendously. She listens to me and encourages me to push myself with my exposures. I like that she has a background working at Roger’s too. I feel safe sharing my thoughts with her, and she doesn’t judge me for picking at my skin (just helps me develop tools to combat it). My scores have improved significantly under her expertise. Overall, I would highly recommend Jen to anyone wanting to improve their OCD!

L.K.
Good experienceI’ve been in talk therapy for the last 10 years and I can truly say I have gotten so much more in the short 6 months with my NOCD therapist Jennifer. Someone told me that they thought I had OCD after my twins were born and it wasn’t until some extensive research and validation from Jennifer that I realized I have been “misdiagnosed” my whole life. NOCD is changing the game and Im happy to be part of such a warm and welcoming community. I can feel myself getting stronger with each session and genuinely feel heard and cared for.
L.Q.
Good experienceJennifer is a great therapist. She has a wonderful balance of warmth and professionalism. She has helped me tremendously.
