I know from personal experience that OCD symptoms can be debilitating. I'm here to help you regain joy and peace in life instead of just surviving. I approach OCD therapy with kindness and as much fun and silliness as possible. I want you to feel empowered to laugh at OCD. Once you know how to address the symptoms, OCD is a bully that has lost its ability to taunt you. It is so satisfying to take your power back. My other areas of focus include ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and trauma.

Why our members love working with Toby
A.H.
I've never had a bad session with Toby! Even when I'm overwhelmed and feel my OCD creeping back in, Toby is able to help get me back on track! I've battled alone for years and finally feel like I'm able to be me again because of their help.
