My approach to treating OCD is person-centered and collaborative. I create a safe, non-judgmental space, meeting you where you are and working with you to tackle challenges head-on. Together, we use evidence-based methods to build resilience and help you reclaim what matters most to you in life. Making an appointment is a powerful first step. Therapy is a process, and you don’t need to have it all figured out before we start. In addition to specializing in OCD, I also focus on treating anxiety, panic, phobias, and trauma.

I’ve used NOCD in the past but after a difficult recent period in my life I decided to come back, my original therapist no longer worked here but I found it very easy to get set back up quickly, and I chose Toni Sands from the available therapists. I’m glad I did as she was brilliant, she is a truly great therapist, who does really listen, without judgement, and made me feel at ease and supported right away. Though you don’t have to, she helps you to share whatever it is you’re going through, and makes you feel like she is in your corner and really understands, because she deals with people who suffer like this all the time. She also didn’t push me to do things I wasn’t comfortable with yet. I totally recommend NOCD as a service, for ease of access to support, (I think I had a therapy session in less than a week after enquiring) and in particular, I want to thank Toni Sands who has made a huge difference to my quality of life.

Toni is literally helping to save my life and my future wellbeing. She is an amazing listener and incredibly smart and deserves whatever pay raise you can afford to give her (in my opinion). The world needs more people like Toni, and while my work isn’t done yet, I’m confident in her ability to help me get to where I want to be

I'm so grateful I was paired with Toni. She is so cool, loving, fun, welcoming, and professional. She held impeccable space for me. She was kind and challenged me to face my OCD head on. I have learned skills from her that will help me for the rest of my life. WORK WITH TONI! She's amazing and so good at what she does.

Good experience

I used every "stress management" technique I knew to curb the intrusive thought and the gripping, overwhelming anxiety. When I realized that I could not meditate enough...I could not exercise enough...I could not journal enough... That's when I finally surrendered to help and found NOCD. I am so grateful to NOCD and my therapist. Thanks to therapy, homework, the app, videos, support groups, etc., I am learning so much about myself and gaining skills to combat my OCD. It really is an amazing space with so much info and support. I am beyond grateful for it.
