When I was younger, I always wanted to help and be there for others as much as I could. Unfortunately, during my time in college, a friend of mine was struggling with severe mental health issues and died by suicide. This was the driving force that led me to become a therapist. I want to help people who are struggling. I love supporting others in making huge changes in their lives and being one of their biggest cheerleaders in success.

Through the people I was working with, I saw the impact OCD can have on people’s lives. A friend of mine also told me what living with OCD is like, and that she had gotten better with the use of ERP.

Depression, ADHD, and anxiety disorders. I wanted to focus on these areas because they're common disorders that plague people from day to day. It's extremely rewarding to help people thrive. I've worked in hospital settings, as a vocational counselor, and I've done group and individual therapy.

ERP is a positive step towards gaining more freedom in your life, but it will be challenging. Putting in the work and being consistent is key to your success. I will be here with you every step of the way, doing ERP together in video sessions and messaging if you're in need of a little extra support. NOCD also offers member advocates, an app, and a community of other people who suffer with OCD to connect with. You are not alone.

Talk to me about it! It's my job as a therapist to help you process that and gain insight. It's normal to be scared, but talking about it can be a freeing experience. I will never judge you based on the contents of your thoughts.
