How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy

By not rushing things. Making sure that you feel understood is absolutely my top priority. I'll keep you on track with ERP, but sometimes it's helpful to just be present and let people know that somebody is sitting with them through whatever distress they're experiencing in the moment.

What sets me apart from other OCD therapists

My faith in Jesus does drive all of my motivation for what I do here at NOCD. That sense of really wanting to connect and understand is very much a priority for me-just wanting to know the heart and the mind of the individual.

My personal connection to OCD and mental health

I do have some OCD themes that tend to bubble up, so I can identify with my Members on a professional and personal level, which I think is helpful for me and for them.

What my Members say helps them feel comfortable with me

My empathy and validation. I'm able to put myself in your shoes and understand the distress you feel.
