Meet our licensed OCD therapists available for live video sessions in Oregon. We accept many insurance plans, including Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, and BCBS to treat OCD and related conditions in Portland, Salem, Eugene, and surrounding areas. We also offer many affordable options to help people access treatment if we don't accept their insurance.
I take an integrative approach to treating OCD. I like to get to know people through conversation. I'm a doctor of psychology, so members will learn quite a bit of information regarding their mental well-being during our interactions. As a therapist, I understand the importance of self-care. When I'm not working, I like to take long walks, play the piano, sing, and converse with others.
Read moreOne of my loved ones suffered from OCD and was successfully treated. I know how difficult the condition can be. OCD has been controlling you to trust intrusive thoughts and certain compulsions. In treatment, I'll ask you to trust me and our work with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Ensuring you feel safe is key to me. I'll meet you where you are and help you see your strength as you take control of OCD. You don't have to live in pain. You are not alone. You too can live the life you desire.
Read moreMy career as a licensed counselor and therapist has allowed me to help people of all ages. I began helping people as an in-home clinician in Mississippi before moving to Wisconsin. I worked at a residential facility for kids with OCD and now provide specialized OCD treatment with NOCD. During our sessions, we'll be using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. I've seen how ERP can transform a person and help get their life back. I can treat any OCD subtype using ERP, so whatever you're struggling with, I can help.
Read moreAs a therapist, I'm warm and empathetic. I can join you where you're at. At NOCD, you're in good hands. This is a safe, comfortable space where you can share. Know you're not alone. You will have help in beating the OCD bully. I have seen that ERP is very effective, if you consistently put in the work and practice doing exposures on your own. In addition to OCD, I have treated anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and substance use disorders.
Read moreGrowing up in India, I witnessed firsthand how mental health issues were often stigmatized and misunderstood. One of my family members struggles with OCD; observing their challenges deeply impacted me. My diverse areas of expertise empower me to support individuals with OCD facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse. I am a certified EMDR therapist and am pursuing certification as a sex therapist. My goal is to foster a more informed and accepting attitude toward mental health, both within my community and beyond.
Read moreIn OCD therapy, changes can happen quickly. Within months, people can have a whole new outlook on life. That is beautiful. In sessions, I'm collaborative, and I like to use a lot of humor. Whatever you bring, I'll start where you are, and we'll go from there. Therapy will stress you out and make you do things you don't want to do, but we can also have some fun. I also have experience treating complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and trauma.
Read moreMy personal experience with anxiety, combined with my professional experience, makes me an authentic and direct therapist. Members trust me and feel comfortable in our sessions. I love working with OCD and other conditions that are often misunderstood. I don't want you to feel misunderstood anymore. I'm here to help you see that your thoughts aren’t you — they are OCD. I also have experience treating trauma, sexual abuse, eating disorders, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and anger.
Read moreAs a therapist, I’ll make sure you feel safe. You can trust me. I know it's really hard to talk about some of the stuff that goes on inside your mind. I also like to make therapy fun—and it can be a lot of fun when you're learning how to master your thoughts. When I'm not doing therapy, I have a couple of German shepherds that I like to go hiking with, and I love swimming.
Read moreAs a therapist, the first big piece I work on is developing a connection with the person I'm working with, so we can establish trust. I take time to learn about you—the story of who you are, how you've gotten to where you are now, and what you want for the future. From there, we start looking into more of the techniques that will sever the connection between the things you're doing that aren't helping you and your anxiety. A fun fact about me: I have an undergraduate degree in theater, which is something I've always been interested in.
Read moreOCD therapy might seem scary. But trust me as we begin this journey. You're going to see rewards. You'll be able to live without OCD being in the driver's seat of your life. I will orient you to the nature of OCD, and why ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) works and other therapies don't. You'll learn about the fear structure and how to break the OCD cycle. My areas of focus include anxiety disorders, depression, general adjustment disorder, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. I also have a background in dialectical behavioral therapy for personality disorders.
Read moreIn treating OCD, I am committed, patient, and encouraging throughout the process. I tell everyone who comes to therapy that this can be hard, but it's worth it. Nothing comes easy. Therapy is about committing to work on yourself so you can have a better quality of life. Some facts about me: I am a cancer survivor, the oldest of six siblings, a big fan of yoga and meditation, and I love adrenaline and adventure. You name it, and I probably have done it or will do it!
Read moreI believe in approaching any mental health condition holistically, looking at all aspects of your life that contribute to your current functioning. I utilize a strengths-based approach to empower you to make changes while addressing challenges. In addition to OCD, I have treated substance abuse issues and worked in corrections and in foster care. I have always enjoyed assisting people with high levels of need. I cherish being able to sit with people going through the hardest times of their lives; it's an honor to be trusted in that way.
Read moreMy therapeutic approach involves using ERP, an evidenced-based treatment approach to create a supportive, nonjudgmental, collaborative, didactic, therapeutic space to treat OCD. In addition to being a therapist supporting clients with OCD, I’m a wife, boy mom, and dog mom (I have three dogs: two toy poodles and a cocker spaniel). I love to travel and experience new cultures and places, spend time with my family and friends, and read. I am actively involved with my sorority and volunteer as a crisis counselor with LBGT+ youth.
Read moreI have lived experience with anxiety and depression, which made me want to help others face their fears. My approach to OCD involves helping you understand you have power in your treatment. In my sessions, there is no judgment. I believe every emotion is important, no matter how small it may seem. Together, we are on a journey to address what's happening in your life. In addition to OCD, my professional areas of focus include trauma, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders.
Read moreI provide a non-judgmental environment where you'll feel supported as you conquer what's holding you back. I've always gravitated toward working with people who've been marginalized and under-represented; I specialize in OCD because I've seen the profound difference ERP (Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy) can make. (My other areas of focus include anxiety, addictions, behavioral health, developmental disabilities, and women's issues.) This will be a challenging journey, but we'll take it together. At times, it may be scary, but as our work progresses, you'll see that with challenge comes growth.
Read moreI'm passionate about understanding people's emotions and helping them navigate their unique struggles toward healing and resilience. I specialize in OCD because I find the complexity of the disorder fascinating, and I'm driven to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected. My approach to treating OCD is evidence-based and collaborative. I'll provide compassionate guidance as you face the challenges associated with OCD. I'll respect your pace and will never pressure you into attempting anything that doesn't feel comfortable or aligned with your readiness.
Read moreI have several loved ones who have struggled with OCD their entire lives and found talk therapy to not be as effective as they would like. As a therapist who has worked with children and adolescents, I found my clients struggling to find interventions that were helpful. My approach to OCD therapy is collaborative, non-judgmental and supportive. NOCD has a highly effective program, and I am here to support you as much as possible on this journey. My other areas of professional focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, PTSD, and learning disabilities.
Read moreAn effective partnership is the key to any therapeutic relationship. You can and will get better if you work on your personal situation with a trained therapist. The more honest you can be, the better your improvement. I will be at your side, developing trust and empathizing with your experience. Tell me if something isn't working or you're afraid. All I want from our relationship is to help you feel heard and change how you feel. My other areas of focus include PTSD, trauma-informed treatment, somatic complaints, and integrated medical care.
