About

My first priority as a therapist is to build trust. I know the thoughts you're having might be distressing. You can tell me anything. I won't judge you, and I will meet you where you're at, as an individual. Some fun facts about me: Every week, I get a Netflix DVD—yes, a physical DVD—sent to me. I love cinema. I also love watching The Price Is Right. I think I'm an older woman inside.

You are welcome here, and you're accepted, however you come. No obstacle is too big to overcome. There's always more to learn, and that's something we can do together.

I felt like we accomplished a lot. I was able to talk with her about all the things I had written down to her address. Most of the suggestions she gave me were applicable and I felt I will be able to use. I look forward to continuing.

I was a bit nervous about doing a first session as those can be overwhelming since there is a lot of background/history that needs to be covered. My therapist skillfully navigated the in-take process! I didn't feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable recounting my life story. More importantly, I look forward to the following sessions!

I struggled so much before finding out about NOCD. This was my saving grace. My therapist was amazing and so helpful. She taught me so many techniques to get my mind under control. I recommend this program highly.

Makayla is an excellent skilled clinician, she has taught me invaluable tools and her approach is compassionate, nuanced and filled with appropriate humor (which is so helpful with a disorder that often negatively distorts our worldview). I highly recommend her and NOCD to treat this condition.

Makayla was real. I felt like talking with her was safe and easy, even when the subjects were difficult.
