About
Treating OCD and anxiety is personal to me. I've struggled with anxiety throughout my life, and I have loved ones with OCD and anxiety disorders. I am a direct but empathetic therapist. My own experience has helped me understand the need for self-compassion. This is a no-judgment zone. We are collaborating on this journey together. I want to be here to help you take each step in your treatment. OCD therapy is as effective as the effort you put into it. But you can see progress in just a few sessions.

Michelle creates an environment where I feel safe to share anything. I think that is really valuable, and has allowed me to make a lot of progress in my sessions with her. Our work together has helped me manage my OCD daily. She has helped me develop grace and compassion towards myself, which has always been a primary goal of mine in counseling.

I've worked with Michelle for a while @NOCD. The one way I would describe her would be, exactly what OCD doesn't like. Which is EXACTLY the reason you should work with her! Her approach is a no BS, no reassurance, do your homework, practice your skills type one. She really helped me push past my limits on things I thought I would never feel again (I had bad panic attacks for a while). One example would be that I had really bad panic attacks. Like I would be temporarily paralyzed and couldn't move or breath. By the end of our sessions, I was recreating the temporary paralysis on purpose! I thought I wouldn't want to feel that way again ever, but funny enough towards the end, I actually kinda enjoyed it. She is also really awesome at making you feel heard and understood. My final remark is, if you want to get better, like take away truly lifelong skills, this is your therapist :)

Michelle is the best. So smart about OCD and so patient and supportive in a non-reassurance kind of way.

Our therapist has been very helpful with my 7 year old daughter’s OCD. She has been in therapy (CBT for what we thought was ‘just’ anxiety) for almost 4 years with little result- until we found NOCD and ERP. ERP is hard work for a 7 year old, and for us as parents. Our therapist guides us through and finds strategies that are doable for all of us. She is helping to uncover other “things” that we didn’t even notice or think about as being OCD-related. The member advocates are so responsive and helpful. I would encourage anyone who doesn’t love their therapist to keep trying- not every therapist is a fit for every person- it’s not one size fits all and it shouldn’t feel that way! Not every therapist here operates on a “script” like I’ve read in some reviews. They definitely have an approach, but it should feel personalized. Ours has and we are very grateful!

Working with Michelle gave me an elevated quality of life that I didn’t even know I was missing before NOCD. Getting diagnosed with OCD made so many pieces in my life fall together and she gave me the tools, support and encouragement I needed to overcome this first stage of treatment and get to active recovery. I discharged from therapy today and feel confident in managing my recovery with the care I’ve been given - and Michelle was a huge part in that!

Michelle creates a safe space for her clients to discuss all aspects of their OCD. She actively listens and helps me discover the root of any hang ups so that I can challenge myself to move past them. Through ERP and focusing on the present I have been able to make progress. I’m grateful for our sessions!

We just had our first appointment with the NOCD therapist for our daughter. It went really well. We felt heard and understood more than any other time in our lives probably. It went great!

I am very eager to work with my therapist. I’ve had OCD therapy before but unfortunately wasn’t as attentive and was left on my own to try ERP or how to structure it. With NOCD, I felt my therapist really listened and we are working on a plan together.
