OCD / MENTAL HEALTH / LIVED EXPERIENCE
Advocacy is personal.
I use my lived experience navigating severe OCD to make more room for honest conversations, better care, and the people whose voices belong at the center of mental health work.

Support Groups
I managed and scaled the NOCD Community Support Group Program from 2021–2024, building curriculum, onboarding therapists and advocates, and creating safety protocol for 30+ support groups each week for people undergoing OCD therapy. The 10 weekly groups I hosted personally welcomed anywhere from 10 to 60 attendees.

Lived experience belongs at the table.
Chairman of OMCAN
I served as chairman of the One Mind Community Advisory Network, a diverse, volunteer-driven group of 30 mental health advocates selected to expand and enrich the work of the One Mind Lived Experience Council.
Integrating people with lived experience into mental health services and research makes solutions more impactful, inclusive, and creative. It can improve outcomes, reduce stigma, build trust, and foster genuine empowerment.

OCD + Neurodivergence Therapist Training
Alongside ERP therapist April Kilduff and autistic lived-experience advocate Sky Stanton, I helped create NOCD’s first OCD and Autism therapist training.
I’ve also hosted individual and group consultations for therapists on OCD and ADHD, drawing on my lived experience and expertise, as well as informed approaches to Sensory Processing Disorder.
