Asking for help and coping with mental health has always been stigmatized. Growing up, I struggled to ask for help. I found it hard to find someone who would really listen to me. I’ve always wanted to be that person who'll listen and be there when someone is feeling helpless, alone, or just needs someone.

Mental health still isn’t really understood by society. People tend to shy away from diagnoses like OCD because they don’t understand them. There's also a shortage of therapists specializing in OCD treatment. I specialize in OCD to advocate for those with OCD and to help people understand the diagnosis and get help for their symptoms.

In addition to OCD, my areas of focus include anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, grief, relationship/marriage issues, self-esteem, and ADHD.

Know that it’s OK to be nervous, even scared, and it might be difficult at first. But also know that NOCD offers the most support and the most effective treatment.

It’s OK to feel that way! I will move at the pace you’re comfortable with, one that makes the most sense for your treatment. Over time, it will get less scary.
