Licensed Therapist, LPC, Ph.D
About
As your OCD therapist, I'll help you understand the OCD cycle and implement behavioral response prevention methods. I am always excited to see individuals recover and get their life back on track. Seeing individuals recover their lives and thrive encourages me to learn more about OCD and continue this line of work. Understand that therapy is a commitment — one must see this as an investment of time, money, and energy to make sustainable changes. My other areas of focus include trauma, spiritual integration, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders.

My therapist with NOCD is incredible. She is always willing to listen and adjust our therapy to meet the day’s needs. Dealing with OCD among other mental health issues would be much harder without her.

Sandra is such a knowledgeable, supportive, and kind therapist. She has already helped me so much. ERP is absolutely life changing. I tried to white knuckle my way through my obsessions and compulsions for so long, but now I feel like I'm actually making real and sustainable progress. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn how to manage my OCD so I can live the life that I want to.

Sandra is so patient and compassionate! I feel comfortable sharing even my most “embarrassing” obsessions and fears with her. Thank you for celebrating my wins and helping me through my challenges, Sandra!

I liked the fact that she listened to me and that she realizes I've had alot of grief and trauma and felt that maybe we should approach that first.

Had my first proper ERP session today, Sandra was very calm and gave perfect information to let me know how to sit with the uncertainty and not react, this is just the first step, can’t wait, long road ahead!!🙏🤩

I was having an especially hard day today and Sandra was so helpful in calming me down and motivating me. There are some days where my whole day feels like ERP and it exhausts me. She has a way of putting my OCD into perspective and inspires me to go on. I can’t thank you enough Sandra.

I felt heard and understood. Sandra used examples to help me better relate to and recollect some of my experiences. I was also okay to be vulnerable and didn't fear being judged. I'm absolutely hopeful about the therapy helping me and am looking forward to future sessions. Thanks so much for the session and the opportunity to speak and express myself.

It took me a long time to understand what was going through my mind. Obsessive Thoughts consumed my mind for about a year. I thought there was no way out of what was happening to me. I finally found NOCD. Sandra (my therapist) changed my life. After months of therapy. I finally understood what was going on with me. Sandra gave me the tools and amazing support along the way to help me understand my OCD. I will be forever grateful for this lifechanging therapy and support I received. If you are still reading this, please know that no matter how dark it gets, there is always light on the other side.

I love my therapist already! First session and I am hooked, lol, so excited for our upcoming sessions. She is like a real life angel, lol. She listens very well, is very knowledgeable, and I have already learned a lot about OCD and how we are going to approach managing it. She is very insightful and I love how she puts things. I appreciate her humor as well. I felt as if I was just talking to an old friend, a very knowledgeable & helpful one, and I loved that! I also love that she is super focused in specifically OCD. I enjoyed the session and felt great afterward also. I definitely look forward to the sessions that I will have with her. She has given me hope with my OCD, and I am very hopeful, and confident, that this will be something that I can happily manage through the guidance of her. I especially love that she is also Christian and that we can work together with God through my treatment, and hopefully overcome, or at least manage, my OCD. Super grateful for her already and eager for more sessions with Sandra! I am so happy I reached out to NOCD and found her.

This is a question I asked before going this route but it was never answered? Could we continue with NOCD even if we ended up not being diagnosed with oCd but just anxiety? It’s been exhausting trying to find CBT/exposure therapy that is needed to address my son’s anxiety. I was disappointed that after getting my son to this appointment we were pretty much turned away from receiving help from NOCD.

Sandra is patient and insightful. She really listens and is able to help me. Even when I fall back into the OCD she is there to remind me and teach me so I have the tools to get better.

The amount of knowledge and support Sandra brings to our sessions is beyond helpful and appreciated. Today I am feeling very determined to fight ocd and to live a life WITHOUT it less and less. I could say some many things of how amazing Sandra is!!

Sandra was amazing. I have seen quite a few counselors in my time and she did a great job. I was heard, she was open to trying to find the problem when I didn’t fit “the mould” of her questionnaire. Then gave me good guidance and greet referral information to check out on my own. And she showed me how to use the app to help me see a better picture of my concerns.

Sandra has taught me more about my OCD in a few sessions than I’ve learned in the past 35 years of having it. I look forward to my sessions! I also like that she sends me extra links to educate myself more on my OCD. She’s an amazing therapist.
