What if I told you that your anxiety-, and OCD-symptoms can't keep going without your permission, even your cooperation; and that effective therapy for anxiety and OCD is about learning the skills that not only help you to make progress, but to maintain it? Would you want to know more?.
Traditional talk therapy not working? I am an anxiety disorders and OCD treatment specialist, having utilized the exposure therapies for effective treatment in many hundreds of cases. Patients generally achieve subclinical symptom-severity in about four months, or 16 sessions. Effective treatment can be hard; and it requires consistency and work. But if you're ready to take your life back from your symptoms, I specialize in the treatment-protocols amply proven to reduce your symptoms, and in a limited period of time. Night & weekend sessions available.

I have a pretty flexible approach to therapy. You can expect a steady flow of smiley faces in your messaging inbox, but you are not obligated to respond. My focus allows for a completely unique experience for every member. I tend to get along well with members who are very particular about details because I care about the mapping of your OCD being accurate to your experience. The only thing more important is that you feel like you have agency throughout the entire therapy process. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD.

I specialize in cognitive behavioral treatment for anxiety, OCD, and relationship-based issues (especially the transition to parenthood).
Are you ready to take control of your anxiety, relationship problems, or a recent life transition? I offer therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples. My clients describe my approach as warm, but direct and my ideal clients come to therapy ready to put in the work. In the initial session, we will determine your goals, discuss strategies for meeting them, and develop an individualized treatment plan based on evidence-supported techniques. Finally, we'll monitor progress over time and make sure that therapy is helping you apply new skills to your life outside of the therapy room.
