About

I struggled with OCD in college and know firsthand how debilitating it can be. I went through treatment, and it was life-changing. Today, I love to help other people who struggle with OCD and see them get better. NOCD Therapy will be challenging, but OCD is probably much more difficult. By doing the work, over time things will become easier. You can get your life back, one that's not dominated by OCD. I will be here to support you every step of the way. I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults with diagnoses including depression, anxiety, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder.

I started seeing Jennifer with OCD symptoms that were substantially impacting my personal and professional life as well as my relationships with others. She provided a safe space for me to discuss my experiences and work on confronting the worst of my symptoms. I've had some bad experiences with mental health professionals that left me feeling cynical about seeking. In addition to helping me learn about my OCD symptoms and tools for working on them, Jennifer has shown me how impactful treatment can be when I have a provider who listens with empathy and compassion and works with me to find an effective treatment plan. I have grown so much through working with Jennifer, and I'll forever be grateful to her.
