I've been curious about the human experience every step of the way. Growing up, I watched people in my family struggle to understand each other. I wanted to help people overcome that same difficulty. On some level, I was already developing those skills in my childhood, and later I just adapted them professionally.

Earlier in my career, I worked with several people who had OCD, and I wanted to get better at helping them. Before coming to NOCD, I worked in a pediatric primary care setting where I was seeing so many presentations of OCD at younger and younger ages. I saw how misunderstood and misdiagnosed it was. It drove me to want to gain further skills in that direction.

I have worked with kids, families, and adults with a range of anxiety conditions and depression. I've treated trauma and multigenerational trauma, as well as many comorbidities with OCD and family systems issues.

If you've had prior experience in counseling and ERP is new to you, this is going to feel different. It isn't going to be just us talking about things. We’re going to be doing things together and moving toward action and change. It might feel daunting or overwhelming. But you are way more capable than you realize. You're able to do hard things.

Know that this is a place to work toward feeling safe. I'm not here to judge. I'm here to understand. It can feel hard to share things that feel private and personal when you don't know how somebody might react. But sometimes, when we let ourselves approach things that feel uncertain, the benefits can be greater than we think.
