About

I'm an empathetic therapist. You’ll always have my support to get through to the other side, and we’ll keep working, no matter what. I have more than 20 years of experience as a professional counselor, and I believe my entire career has led me to specialize in OCD. I love working with NOCD members because I get to see real change in everyone I work with. When NOCD members do good exposure exercises, I've seen change quickly. I work with adults and adolescents; my additional specializations include hoarding and tic disorders.

Ken was not my first therapist, but I consider him as my #1 therapist because he’s been a great resource in my OCD recovery. He always takes time to listen and very good at guiding me in recovery when I have bad days. Every person’s experience with OCD is unique, but I chose Ken because his experience allows him to truly understand how isolating, strange, and uncomfortable my experience with OCD can be.

I’m answering for my teenage son. So I can only speak from my point of view. But his therapist gets him to engage and makes him feel comfortable speaking his mind. That’s not always easy with a teenager.
