You're taking the biggest step right here. Getting yourself into OCD therapy is awesome. It can also be scary. But putting in the time and effort will pay off. My treatment style is collaborative and eclectic. I want to work with you to create your treatment plan and break down your challenges. I got my professional start in a residential center that specifically worked with people who have OCD. I’ve also worked with social anxieties and phobias, and depressive disorders such as D-ADHD.

I have been working with Ari for the last month now and she’s been excellent in helping me identify my mental compulsions (I honestly thought I wasn’t doing any compulsions). It’s been 20 years since I last did any OCD related therapy and she’s been instrumental in my steady progress. While some exposures are difficult, I am glad that I found NOCD as ERP is what I need to truly help my OCD.

Wow Ari is amazing! Just the immediate calm and reassurance she brought to the table was everything for my first session. I feel incredibly heard and understood in a way that I’ve never felt before in therapy and feel confident in her ability to help me through this new healing chapter

I worked with Ari for 10 months and found her to be extremely helpful in managing my OCD. I never felt judged based on the content of my obsessions and she is the perfect combination of pushing me to get better and understanding when enough is enough and I need to find ways to regulate and calm down. I got so many life skills back through working with Ari and I'm so grateful for her help. I only stopped meeting with her because I had to pursue other mental health treatment, but I plan on requesting to work with her again because she has helped make such a difference in my life.

Ariel is a really good therapist. She's friendly and non-judgmental, and I really appreciate the fact that she's patient if it's taking me a bit longer to work on certain OCD issues. She also seems to have an understanding of autism which I'm grateful for as I'm on the autism spectrum
