My approach to treating OCD is to put the member first. I like to create a collaborative treatment environment so each member feels involved in their therapy journey. I have always been a compassionate person. When I was thinking about careers, I wanted to do something that would utilize that compassion and help people overcome challenges they may have thought were impossible to overcome. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it.
We have received training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD. When you start with NOCD, you’ll either work with me or be paired with one of my colleagues, depending on your preferences. We’ll get to know you and create a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals.
Plus, we offer support between sessions through messaging and a community of peers with OCD, ensuring you never feel alone. I understand how challenging it is to be vulnerable with another person. I want you to know that I will never judge you for anything. I hope you will find therapy a safe place to share these thoughts with me.
