I've always been interested in the mind and how it works, and I was interested in helping people. I thought I would try psychology in college, just see how it felt, and it felt great. It just clicked. I've never looked back.

I like helping people with anxiety. I love seeing people make changes. I like being able to lay things out and work with members to identify behaviors that aren't working, then help them flip those around. Working with OCD aligned well with my work as a therapist. It felt like a pretty natural jump.

I’ve worked with a little bit of everything. I'd been working in general talk therapy for the better part of a decade leading up to my time with NOCD. I've done a lot of work with children and adolescents, with anxiety and depression, and with couples. Anxiety work has stood out to me as the most natural, and that's where I tend to focus.

It's OK to feel uncomfortable in this experience. This therapy is about habit-breaking, so the decision to step away from things that might feel pretty comfortable right now is not easy. You've got to be OK taking the training wheels off at times, and that's really scary. It's fine that it is, but you should know that this discomfort is a pretty necessary piece of therapy.

I will always say go at your own pace. I'm never one to say we've got to talk about anything in particular. It is incredibly powerful, and somewhat liberating, to talk about things that we weren’t able to discuss at first. That said, it's not a necessity to talk about all this stuff right away. I'm fine following your pace, and when you feel comfortable sharing more, I'm an open ear.
