Therapist focusing on OCD (Exposure and Response Prevention - ERP), Perinatal Mental Health, and Anxiety. 

 "Silence the inner critic. Reclaim yourself."

The intrusive thoughts won't stop. Whether it's OCD rituals stealing hours of your day, postpartum anxiety with terrifying thoughts about your baby, or the relentless worry and self-doubt that comes with anxiety and depression—you're exhausted and don't know how much longer you can keep going.

Maybe you're checking, washing, or counting compulsively. Or you're a new mother drowning in intrusive thoughts that fill you with shame. Maybe you're navigating menopause while anxiety ramps up, or watching your child struggle with big emotions they can't control. You're giving everything to everyone else while your own needs disappear. You feel like you're failing—at managing your mind, at parenting, at life. It shouldn't be this hard.

Nina focuses on OCD treatment through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy—the gold-standard treatment with 60-80% success rates. She also has extensive experience with anxiety and depression, pregnancy and postpartum mental health (including perinatal OCD), life transitions like menopause, parenting stress, and helping children ages 7+ with anxiety and emotional regulation.

Nina understands that making the initial call for help feels like a big step—but that's when things can start to change. Whether you're struggling with OCD, navigating the challenges of new motherhood, dealing with anxiety that's taken over your life, or supporting a child through their own mental health journey, Nina has the expertise and compassion to guide you forward.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. It involves gradually facing feared situations (exposure) while resisting the urge to perform compulsions (response prevention). This helps your brain learn that the feared outcome isn't as likely as you think, and that you can tolerate the anxiety without rituals. Nina guides you through this process safely and at your own pace.

  • OCD involves specific intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that trigger intense anxiety, leading to repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) to reduce that anxiety. These compulsions are time-consuming (typically 1+ hour daily) and interfere with your life. If you're not sure, Nina can help you understand your symptoms during a consultation.

  • Yes! Nina works with women experiencing emotional changes during menopause, including anxiety, depression, mood swings, and difficulty adjusting to this life transition. Hormonal changes can significantly impact mental health, and therapy can help you develop coping strategies and reconnect with yourself during this transition.

  • Nina helps children develop emotional regulation skills, learning to identify, understand, and manage their feelings in healthy ways. Through age-appropriate techniques, children learn coping strategies that help them navigate big emotions without becoming overwhelmed. Parents also learn strategies to support their child at home.

  • Nina is passionate about working with women during pregnancy and postpartum periods. She understands the unique challenges of this season, sleep deprivation, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to feel joy when you're struggling. Her approach is warm, non-judgmental, and focused on helping you feel like yourself again.
