About Troy
Troy specializes in treating hoarding disorder and OCD, with particular expertise in relationship OCD (ROCD), contamination OCD, perfectionism / “just right” OCD, and health anxiety. She works from a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens, and utilizes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help adults and children (12+) create lives with greater freedom and flexibility. Troy also offers recovery coaching for parents, families, and significant others—because the power of an informed support system cannot be overstated.
As a Black lesbian woman of mixed race (Black, Japanese, and white), Troy knows how complex it can be to hold many identities at once. She spent her early childhood in the Pacific Northwest before moving to Taipei, Taiwan, and later to Boston for college. Having spent much of her life as an ethnic ultra-minority (she was one of only six Black students at her high school, two of whom were her siblings!), she practices with a deep understanding of identity, belonging, and difference.
Troy struggled with OCD for 20 years before finding recovery through ERP—an experience that inspired her to devote her career to helping others do the same. She prioritizes creating a safe, affirming, and engaging space, with a special focus on supporting neurodivergent individuals, people with complex trauma histories, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Troy thinks ERP works best when it’s creative, collaborative, and yes, fun—and believes using humor is one of the most effective ways to stop taking OCD so seriously and start discovering who you are without it.
More than anything, Troy wants her clients to know they’re not alone. She’s been where they are, and she knows recovery is possible. Her ultimate goal is to help her clients not only manage OCD but also reconnect with what makes life meaningful—to feel safe in their own minds and build lives that reflect who they truly are.
