I'm all about empowering members to make decisions motivated by their values, not their intrusive thoughts. It’s important for me to know your concerns and questions before I invite you to commit to therapeutic work. I will take time to listen before I give any recommendations or information. I'm pretty animated most of the time and don’t hesitate to cheer members on and celebrate wins? I have also treated substance abuse, mood disorders, and personality disorders, and I have been privileged to work with the Latinx community.

Why our members love working with Lourdes
S.T.
Lourdes is an incredible, emphatic and competent therapist whom anyone would be lucky to have
H.P.
Working with Lourdes over the last year has been life changing. She has supported me throughout my entire ERP journey and continues to support me by teaching me and helping me understand what I'm going through on this journey.
S.S.
Lourdes is the best therapist for me because she always has an answer, makes OCD and the compulsions clear to me and points out what is important for me to improve in recovery. With her support I am able to do things and participate in life like I wasn’t able to do for a long time and I am so grateful to have her.
H.P.
Lourdes has been extremely supportive, professional, sympathetic and kind to me throughout my journey with NOCD. A year ago I never thought I could have made this kind of progress and thought I would be stuck in the OCD cycle forever. Lourdes encouraged me to take hard leaps in my recovery, face difficult fears and learn to trust myself again. I feel like me again, I learned more about myself and I like life again and she helped me do that.
M.S.
Lourdes is a wonderful therapist. She's compassionate n willing to help. She encourages her clients n motivates them.
M.T.
Once again an amazing session with Lourdes. I always feel like I’m in a safe space to talk about anything and I actually feel relief and like I’m making progress after each session, she’s always the first to tell me how strong I am and how I can do hard things. I really appreciate that as a lot of the time I forget.
M.W.
Lourdes listens with so much understanding and is always ready to provide wisdom that I can take with me onto my day to day life. I am learning to recognise the rigid thinking patterns of OCD and to not get hooked in OCD’s stories. OCD is smart and uses anything it can, including some very serious and real life stressors, to get my attention… but guess what. I’m smarter!
M.T.
Lourdes is the best therapist I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, I always feel better and have a better grasp on my OCD after session. I’m so thankful to have her as my therapist!
N.H.

I felt I hit rock bottom in my life. But Lourdes sessions always make me get up on my feet again !!!.
M.S.
Really happy with my therapist. She really motivates me.
M.T.
The best therapist I could have ever asked for! She makes every session as comfortable as humanly possible, she’s always there for me and I feel comfortable telling her anything and everything without feeling so alone! I truly wouldn’t be where I am in my ocd journey without her. I’m so thankful I got matched with her.
M.W.
Lourdes is the best therapist I could ask for. It’s great to be witness to her expertise and how skilfully she leads each session. 👌🏻Thank you ❤️

S.K.
I have 26 years of therapy experience and Lourdes is the best therapist I ever had. She sees and treats me holistically and not only my OCD, which is an eye opening and extremely helpful experience. I can really feel, that we are getting somewhere and I'm even excited about the journey ahead.
S.K.
Lourdes has the ability to give me hope, that my mental state can get better and that she makes me feel welcome, no matter how my mood is. I always feel better after talking to her.
S.K.
Lourdes is a great therapist. Starting the session, I had been in a very bad state, after the session I felt so much better. I felt understood, encouraged and supported.
S.K.
Lourdes seems to be the perfect fit for me, I'm looking forward to tackling my issues with her.
S.S.
Lourdes is outstanding. Although I felt uncertain about the treatment before starting because I thought my subtype (existential) was too tough for most people to tackle, she has been doing it incredibly well while also helping me greatly with agoraphobia - I went from feeling unable to leave my own room to going where I want (mostly). ERP even allowed me to be patient when having dissociation and other weird anxious states, which greatly decreases suffering. For that reason, I have also been panic-free for a while, even though some exposures began with accepting that a panic attack might happen. If you are in doubt about ERP, please go and try it - I spent too much time and money with ineffective therapy, while Lourdes was able to help me out of it in a few months.
A.A.
After every session, I always end up much more optimistic, motivated and hopeful. I am really truly thankful for Lourdes
M.W.
Lourdes is the best!

I have been struggling with this mental obsession for 15 years that completely deprived me from enjoying anything I used to like in life. I thought I am cursed and almost completely gave up having fun in life. Until I registered in NOCD where I finally found Lourdes who completely and perfectly grasped my obsession. I finally felt some hope again.
