As a child, I wanted to understand the causes of mental health disorders. When I was 15, a close relative began exhibiting signs of schizophrenia in early adulthood. It was a drastic shift from the person we knew and loved, and my first personal encounter with the disease. In high school, I was able to take an elective course in psychology. My teacher encouraged me to pursue a career in mental health with a trajectory in clinical social work.

After many years of treating a wide variety of disorders, I was interested in learning a new skill: evidence-based treatment of OCD. The opportunity to grow professionally and continue making a positive difference in the lives of our members is exciting and rewarding.

I have practiced therapy with clients in my private group practice.

NOCD will provide you with treatment for OCD and a community who will grow with you. Clients are considered members; they're given the opportunity to give back to other members the support they've received. Members ultimately become their own 'therapists'

You would never be forced to share, but we are working together as a team, and you can share to your comfort. Fear of judgment or embarrassment is a common concern. We're working together on the shared goal of conquering OCD and anxiety-related disorders. I'm not here to judge your thoughts but to help you conquer the compulsions that have made life challenging.
