OCD has become a specialty of mine because it has an effective treatment: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). It's exciting to see people's lives improve using this well-tested method. ERP can feel difficult at first, especially when compared to talk therapy. However, if you stick with it and practice often, it will provide relief, and I will be with you through that process. Sessions are a judgment-free zone. I am also trained to treat PTSD.

Valeh provided life-changing insight into my avoidance and fear around relationships. She taught me how to set healthy boundaries and accept uncertainty.

Good experience

After years of working with several wonderful therapists, each with their own unique specialties, both within and outside of NOCD, I’ve been supported through every stage of my healing journey, from first entering therapy to processing deep-rooted PTSD. Each one helped me with exactly what I needed at the time. Currently, Tim has been the best fit for where I am now. His approach has helped me recognize that some of my past patterns of hyper-awareness and over-functioning no longer serve me. Instead of pushing myself to constantly *do* the work, he’s helping me learn how to *be*; to rehabilitate through presence, not just productivity. What once felt idle, unproductive, or even cold, both from myself and others feedback on me, has proven to be the most powerful form of compassion: quiet, gentle, and human. I’m deeply grateful for the shift he’s helping me embody that doing less can be and mean so much more.

Good experience

I was a few months postpartum and my psychiatrist recommended I do therapy for my OCD. I was not hopeful at first and honestly not even halfway through until I started noticing a difference. Months later I realize my ocd has gone way down. Thanks to my therapist, Tim.
