I approach therapy with warmth and compassion, using humor to help members feel comfortable and supported. I actively encourage leaning into discomfort and challenging OCD, emphasizing self-compassion, acceptance, and living out your values. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in evidence-based treatment for OCD, ensuring proper diagnosis and care through our understanding of its nuances. We are extensively trained in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP), the gold standard for OCD treatment. When you start with NOCD, you’ll either work with me or be paired with one of my colleagues – this will depend on your preferences.

Even in the 21st century, "having issues" still carries a stigma. Therapists are here to help you make your life better, but we are still not fully understood by the public. I'm guilty of not understanding dentists. I went to the dentist "only when" the pain was so bad I couldn't stand it, or "only when" I had to have a tooth yanked. Only in mid-life, after years of misery, did I understand dentists as being real doctors. Now, I respect the connection between healthy gums and healthy heart and I spare myself the prolonged anguish.

As an LMFT intern, I am fully committed to helping my clients. I believe that providing care to the whole person means not just treating the symptoms of the diagnosis. I follow the solution-focused therapeutic method, focusing on the solution and not the problem. I take clients of all ages and demographics, with a speciality in adolescent and trauma therapy. I have experience working with the veteran community in support of local non-profits. I have seen the difference that therapy makes in a person’s life. Good therapy helps to heal trauma, anxiety, depression, and can limit symptoms of adhd, and other mental health diagnoses.

I know from my own life experiences and several years of helping others that to put yourself first and reach out for help can place you in a vulnerable state. Change can take a huge leap of faith.
