I've always been interested in mental health and how the brain operates in response to certain triggers. The most gratifying part of my job is helping others become their best selves. I treat OCD with compassion and patience. It's important to communicate and work together to improve symptoms. At NOCD, my team and I provide personalized and effective specialized treatment for OCD and related conditions, such as BFRBs (including skin-picking, nail-biting, and hair-pulling). Our understanding of the nuances of these conditions enables us to diagnose and treat them properly.

I love working with people who are ready to do the work, even if they still have strong defenses or aren’t sure where to begin. My ideal clients are middle-aged adults navigating anxiety, identity shifts, and life transitions, and children recovering from trauma, including sexual abuse and sex trafficking. I especially connect with clients in the contemplation or action stage, who may not have all the answers but know something needs to shift. I value honesty, even when it’s messy, and offer a nonjudgmental space for healing. Clients come to explore their potential, find clarity, and build a more grounded, fulfilling life.

When working with neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and young adult clients, I don't shy away from those who struggle with traditional power dynamics. I embrace clients’ need for their autonomy to be respected and honored in our sessions. I have a genuine curiosity to learn about others’ experiences, and a desire to co-create with my clients what our sessions will look and feel like. I enjoy working with older teens and adults who are struggling to find their identity, those who have experienced trauma or attachment disruptions, and autistic clients - particularly those with PDA traits.

Forward Motion Therapy offers relationship-centered therapy for individuals and couples who want clarity, connection, and meaningful movement—not quick fixes or surface-level coping. I believe therapy is a practice: something we return to, live by, and allow to evolve over time. It has an ebb and flow. Some moments call for slowing down and understanding what’s below; others invite change and forward motion. Therapy focuses on relationships in all forms, including the relationship you have with yourself. I help people understand patterns without blame, hold both impact and intention, and create change without losing themselves.

If you’re struggling with OCD, panic, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, or related concerns, you don’t have to face it alone. Anxiety and OCD have a way of latching onto the things we value most, often leading us to avoid the people, places, activities, and experiences that make life meaningful. Over time, this can leave you feeling stuck, isolated, and disconnected from the life you want to live. My goal is to help you break that cycle so you can move toward what’s important to you—not away from it.

I am a curious and direct therapist who wants to help you understand yourself and the world around you. We all develop ideas about who we are, what to expect from others, and how the world works. These ideas come from lived experiences and may have served us at the time, but sometimes they keep running the show long after they stop being useful. Good therapy creates enough safety and new experiences for us to question those old rules and build something more fitting for the life you are living now. I transitioned to psychotherapy after a long tenure in the arts and bring an artist's paradigm of thinking and relating to my practice.

Hoarding Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.
How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.
Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.
Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
