If you have OCD, you’ve come to the right place for treatment. As your therapist, I’ll make sure you feel safe. You can trust me. I know it's hard to talk about some of the stuff that goes on inside your mind. I like to make therapy fun — and it can be when you're learning how to master your thoughts. In addition to OCD, I specialize in treating people with trauma, and I've treated all types of anxiety.

Why our members love working with Carol
J.H.
Good experienceI’ve been working with Carol almost a whole year and I’m so thankful for her. She really helps me identify the OCD behaviors and navigate how to manage it. If you have OCD you know what I mean. The stress and anxiety sometimes is all consuming, but I’ve gotten so much better. I feel like I’m making great progress in my journey. It’s not easy, but with her help I’ve made big strides. She’s super easy to talk to and I feel heard when we are in session. I highly recommend her!
