I started my career in alcohol and drug counseling, working with kids and adults with anxiety, depression and trauma. Three years ago, I began focusing on OCD. I have anxiety myself, and I understand how scary that can be. But I also know it's something that's temporary, it's something that you can get through. It's not something that's going to last forever.

Information gathering stage. But listening very well. I feel heard.

Sara was absolutely brilliant, I’ve been so nervous about my first session and she made me feel so validated! I feel the most hopeful in a while that I can kick OCD’s ass!

Sara is always kind and takes it at a pace I’m comfortable with. She’s always super accommodating too and I’m hopeful for recovery with her!
F.H.
She made me feel very hopeful and she was very understanding and helpful. I look forward to future sessions with her.
G.F.
I cannot believe that a therapist on the other side of the world to me has helped to change my life so significantly in such a short space of time. My OCD is half what it used to be (and I’ve suffered for 23 years!) and my quality of life is going up and up. I’m so impressed and grateful to NOCD.
G.F.
I feel so optimistic (and dare I say excited?!) after my first session with Sara. I felt so heard and understood in regards to my OCD and other issues. I actually believe that this has a chance of working and breaking the cycle I’ve been stuck in for 23 years.
R.N.
Sara was really lovely and listened to me thoroughly and made me feel very heard
A.W.
She was kind, easy to talk to and listened so well. She seems very knowledgeable in OCD and I feel so optimistic about my future sessions!

Really lovely atmosphere, felt really comfortable and able to speak about my intrusive thoughts and compulsions. Optimistic about future sessions.
