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.

Good experience

I started seeing Velvet last year during the hardest time of my life. I’ve been in traditional CBT therapy for years and I’ve never progressed as quickly in my recovery as I have when I started working with Velvet. ERP therapy is the only type of therapy that has actually helped. In addition, I firmly believe that Velvet is the reason I’ve progressed in my journey with recovering from such a significant flare of my OCD. Without feeding into my obsessions or ruminations, she has helped me see situations from different angles to help me understand that everything will truly be ok. Which for someone whose mind is on a constant hamster wheel- has been a breath of fresh air. I can feel my nervous system regulating while in session with her, and I can honestly say that because of her so much healing has taken place. Thank you for everything

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.
