My approach to treating OCD is centered on truly understanding each member's unique experience and how OCD is affecting their life. I'm empathetic, supportive, and bring an ambitious mindset to treatment. I'll take time to listen carefully to your struggles and concerns, then tailor treatment to fit your specific needs. Together, we'll set clear, achievable goals driven by your values and priorities, ensuring you feel motivated and focused throughout the process. In addition to specializing in OCD, I work with couples and young professionals navigating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and interpersonal relationship challenges.

Why our members love working with Barbara
C.M.
Miss Barbara has changed my 11 year old son’s life trajectory and our family unit, within 6 months. My son’s OCD avoidance and overall dyregulation limited his participation in therapy sessions. I’m so thankful that after several attempts to find a therapist, we were matched with Barbara. It was rough in the beginning (for my son to engage) but she was patient, kind, supportive and non judgmental. Now my son has a trust and friendship with Barbara and looks forward to the ERP sessions. My family is forever grateful for all we have learned. We can’t recommend her enough. She’s truly a gem!
D.S.
Barbara is an absolute gem! She challenges me constantly and has helped me confront my 40 year battle with OCD. You can tell she cares about her patient’s success. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a therapist at NOCD.
L.S.
I love this therapist so much. She helps me resolve deep OCD stressors that I never realized I have. She always finds ways to relate to my struggles and make me feel understood. She has made my day to day life so much easier and happier by helping me work on some of the root causes of my OCD. I had major doubts beginning OCD therapy but she has truly helped me so much already. I can’t wait to continue working with her!
