About
Suffering from anxiety and depression can be very isolating — I've experienced it firsthand. I specialize in OCD and other anxiety disorders because they've affected me and my family. In therapy, we'll focus on your presenting problem and the symptoms that are negatively interfering with your quality of life. This is a safe space. You will find our work to be nonjudgmental and empowering. I've worked in the OCD community for 20 years; my other areas of focus include BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors, tics, and hoarding.

Heidi is helping me so much. She takes the time to really listen and understand me, and she gives me new perspective and coping skills to practice outside of sessions. She is very knowledgeable about the different ways OCD can manifest and cause distress, and she is able to tailor her knowledge to help me through whatever I’m going through at any given moment, while also keeping my focus on the overarching themes and thought patterns that are common to all of my obsessive thoughts and compulsions. Within just weeks, I felt that I better understood what was happening in my brain, and after a few months I already feel a real difference in how I’m coping with things that previously would have caused me debilitating anxiety. Heidi is friendly and easy to talk to while always providing a professional and safe space.

Nocd has given me my daughter back. Thank you thank you!!! Sometimes therapy seemed hard but totally worth it. My daughter is able to go with friends, out to dinner, and full days of school. Can’t say enough good things about it.

I have tried therapy several times before, and they did not feel like a good fit for me, but now I feel confident that I have finally found the right therapist for me.
