About

My approach to treating OCD is rooted in a balance of compassion and accountability. I believe effective therapy requires both gentle understanding and a willingness to challenge ourselves. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where members feel comfortable sharing their experiences and fears, knowing they won’t be judged. Each person’s journey is unique, and we’ll move forward together at a pace that feels right for you. In addition to treating OCD, my areas of focus include social anxiety, phobias, excoriation, and trichotillomania.

Anna is such an amazing therapist. She was able to help me recognize my OCD and begin to work through it. I learned how OCD was showing up in my day to day life and she pushed me to work through it. She not only helped me with my OCD, but rose above and beyond in advocating for me with my psychiatric providers. She was able to help me find more intensive care when I needed it and provide me with resources to educate myself on my various conditions. She is extremely knowledgeable about OCD and various mental disorders. I have worked through so many fears and challenges with her help. I highly recommend Anna and NOCD!

Anna is amazing! She has a wonderful way of encouraging me to challenge myself in ERP sessions, yet is comforting as she knows how difficult the work is. She is very intuitive and I truly feel she cares about and my recovery.

Wonderful, patient therapist. Very knowledgeable, really knows her stuff. My teen daughter struggling with severe OCD - intrusive thoughts. Anna has been a great help. We have a long way to go but we can see a little difference after each session. Very caring and supportive. Thank you Anna.

I found NOOCD when I first found out what I was dealing with was anxiety. While the therapy was good at first, I began realizing that the therapist was not getting to the root of my anxiety. We were just doing exposure therapy and thats it. There was no talk therapy about what may actually be underneath the fears. Just exposures. As I have learned with experience and doing different therapy, exposure therapy is def not the “gold standard” for treating OCD. Getting to the root of what is behind the intrusive thought or fear, and learning to feel your feelings is what actually solves OCD. I would suggest the work of Sheryl Paul if you really want to recover from OCD. Neurofeedback has been a life changer for me as well with managing the OCD. I think beyond exposures, NOOCD needs to teach their therapists to get to the root of what is underneath the fears and work with that.
