I spent a great deal of time in the field of social work and as an adoptive and foster parent. I believed there was a gap in understanding what it was like to live with—and be impacted by people who struggled with—severe mental health challenges. So I earned another master's degree in counseling to help bridge that gap.

I believe it's important to do something very well, and to help people struggling with the debilitating fear, shame, and control OCD can have over a person's life.

I've worked extensively with trauma, abuse, relationship issues, attachment, domestic violence, and healing from narcissistic relationships. This was a natural extension of my experience in social work. Helping individuals and families heal is a passion for me.

Before starting NOCD Therapy, you should know the experience is safe and non-judgmental. The goal is to help you move at a pace that's comfortable for you.

Remember this is part of the process. All of us have uncomfortable thoughts that may feel difficult to share with others. That discomfort is part of the avoidance process that keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns. Once we release those uncomfortable thoughts, we feel a great deal of healing. I won't judge you, and I'll help you see those thoughts for what they are—just thoughts.
