She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MSW, LCSW
About
I work with NOCD members to understand their unique experiences, tailor interventions to their needs, and empower them to manage their symptoms effectively and regain control over their lives. I’m deeply committed to helping members navigate their unique challenges, and I’m dedicated to providing a supportive, non-judgmental space. I prioritize open communication, collaboration, and progress. In addition to OCD, I focus on anxiety disorders, depression, stress management, and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). I also have experience working with the LGBTQ+ population, providing tailored support that respects and addresses their unique challenges and experiences.

Velvet was magically warm and compassionate while still moving things along and being appropriately efficient. I felt heard and not in any way judged.

Before the session, Olivia did not want to attend. But then the half an hour session was basically just talking about things she enjoys so that went over very well.
