I believe it's important to meet everyone where they're at and treat the whole person. Pushing back against OCD can be scary, but therapy can be rewarding and effective. My approach is collaborative. I want to empower you to make decisions in your treatment. We'll create a plan together—ensuring your goals are reflected in our work—and break things down into manageable challenges. My professional experience includes treating depression, ADHD, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias.

Nate is the absolute best therapist I think I’ve ever had. He truly listens and has such great insight and guidance to help you achieve the results you want to see.

I am enjoying working with Nate a lot. He is doing a good job of bringing the things I need to talk about out of me, and is patient with me as I fumble around to try and find the words I need. I have not been invoiced yet, and dont know what the cost will be, and Ive completed 3 or 4 sessions now. This has nothing to do with my session, but is bothering me a bit.

Nate is the best! I’ve seen various therapists and Nate has been the first to actually help. He genuinely cares about his patients, he has various experiences with OCD so he knows how to treat it and help you with a game plan to get back to you.

Nate has helped me to become more aware of when I engage in my bfrb. He listens and helps me process what is going on that is leading to this behavior. He is insightful and sensitive to the issues going on. He is focused on the goals and results that I want to achieve.
