I have additional specialized training in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP), CBT, DBT, as well as forensic assessment, which has helped to refine my clinical practice.
I favor an approach that empowers you to be a catalyst for change through identifying and exploring your strengths. I think a good therapeutic relationship is grounded in genuine appreciation and respect, a touch of humor, and some intangibles that simply make for a good fit.

Sometimes, no matter how much effort you put in, it feels like you’re stuck. You keep doing what you’re supposed to do, but nothing really changes—and that can be frustrating and exhausting. You might feel uncertain, drained, or unsure of what to do next. Still, there might be a small part of you that thinks things don’t have to stay this way. That life could feel a bit lighter, that you could feel more sure of yourself, more connected, more at ease in your own skin. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s possible. And you don’t have to work it out on your own.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Counsellors
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviours that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.

Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioural therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioural change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.

How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.

What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
