In addition to working with children/teens, I also work with adults in therapy who want support managing anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, and other conditions.
I provide individual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults in Raleigh, NC and across the state of North Carolina through telehealth. I use evidence-based treatment methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy to address concerns such as anxiety, OCD, depression, and stress. I know how hard it can be to see your child struggling, and how nerve-racking it can feel to put their care in someone else’s hands. As a parent myself, I take the responsibility of working with someone’s child very seriously. It truly takes a village to raise a child and I am honored when parents invite me into that village to support their family.

Together, we will investigate your wants and needs, the thoughts that trouble you, and the life experiences that have impacted you. I aim to work collaboratively with you to create and achieve goals and find balance in your life.

My approach to OCD therapy involves examining thoughts and behaviors, then focusing on changing behaviors and tolerating the distress caused by thoughts. The most gratifying part of my job is witnessing those 'lightbulb' moments when people realize they don't have to live in fear, anticipation, or shame forever.

Overwhelming emotions of worry can make you feel trapped and unable to see progress or solutions. Worrying about your performance whether it is in your sport, school or career, can often produce poor performances, low confidence and unwanted coping strategies. My clients are often those struggling with overwhelming emotions including the need to be perfect, performance anxiety, generalized anxiety, self-esteem issues, confidence building, OCD, and substance abuse. My clients are trying to be their best possible selves but often do not know where to start or how to make a plan. That's where the team mentality comes into play.

If you’re someone who feels like anxiety is taking control of your life—impacting your relationships, work, and overall well-being—you are not alone (I've been there!). Anxiety can manifest in many forms, whether it’s a persistent sense of worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or even physical symptoms like restlessness or difficulty sleeping. For many, anxiety becomes a constant companion of what-if thoughts, making it difficult to enjoy life or feel at ease. The good news about anxiety is that it's treatable- research shows therapy can be just as effective as medication for anxiety symptoms.

Plus, we offer support between sessions through direct messaging and a community of peers with OCD, ensuring you never feel alone.
I approach OCD with the understanding that it has the power to distort everything you love. That understanding motivates me to help members reclaim what they love most. In graduate school, the first advice I received was that if you want to be a therapist, you need to know what it's like to be on the other side of the chair. That's how I started my journey to becoming a therapist. In undergoing therapy myself, I learned how anxiety-provoking it was to open up to a complete stranger. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists

How long does OCD treatment take?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?

Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?

Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?

Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
