Licensed Therapist, Ed.S., LPC
About
I'm a trauma-informed, anxiety-educated, multifaceted therapist who believes that therapy of any kind is a co-creation. You are the captain of your own ship — any kind of ship will do. My job as your OCD therapist is to be the rudder. I don't steer, but I'll help you get to where you need to be. I won't push you outside your window of tolerance, but I do promise to nudge. We need to push the boundaries of comfort, but I'll do it with respect. I also treat trauma, anxiety disorders, emotion regulation issues, depression, and addictions.

Gwen not only provided me with clear actionable steps to overcome my OCD and worked with me every step of the way but she did so with an approach that was perfectly suited to my personality, my style of learning and my level of commitment. Let me go at my own pace and provided impeccable support throughout. She clearly takes pride in the work she does and genuinely cares about the people she is helping. Another thing that has stood out to me is her ability to listen first THEN carefully consider her response and her suggested course of action. Cannot stress enough how impactful this approach is on her success with me - nothing felt pre-prescribed or by-the-numbers - everything seemed contextual and personalized corrective action based on MY situation.

Gwen lovingly holds space for me, empathizes, and challenges me. My OCD symptoms are less severe after working with her for several months now. Doing this work is so worth it! Highly recommend.

Gwen is fantastic. She is gentle and kind but also educates and challenges when needed. I’m so glad I have her on my treatment team. I have had some of the BIGGEST releases in my therapy journey in my life with her. She has many tools in her toolbox and I’m always SO GLAD I came to session after, even on days when I’m not particularly feeling up to it.

I was really nervous to start OCD therapy especially because ERP is a new modality for me, but Gwen really helped me feel seen and heard right from the first minute of our session! I actually feel hopeful that I can get through this even though it will be hard work because now I feel less alone with the NOCD community. Gwen was very kind, empathetic, and attentive the whole session and I felt like I could share about my issues without judgement. I look forward to this journey!

My therapist Gwen is excellent in listening to the problem and then dissecting, clarifying when its difficult for me to explain my thoughts. She is understanding, compassionate and never judgmental. She challenges me and my thoughts and is more than willing to be there every step of the way.
