Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Avondale, AZ
I also use ERP for panic and intrusive thoughts.
Does your mind feel like it won’t turn off — overthinking, worst-case scenarios, constant tension, or sudden waves of panic? Anxiety can make everything feel urgent, exhausting, and hard to explain to others.
I help adults who struggle with anxiety (rumination, panic attacks, social anxiety, people-pleasing, burnout, and high self-pressure) learn practical skills to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control. Therapy with me is warm, direct, and solutions-oriented — we’ll focus on what’s happening in your nervous system and what to do about it.

I understand how painful and confusing relationship struggles can be- whether you're caught in a cycle that feels impossible to break, grieving someone you loved deeply, or holding on to a relationship that won’t meet you halfway. You may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, or one-sided connections. Maybe you're in recovery, giving more than you receive, or grieving a loss that left you untethered. You might be part of the LGBTQ+ community and feel unseen or misunderstood. In our work, I help you explore patterns, reconnect with yourself, and heal. Together, we’ll move forward.

Life’s transitions can get the best of us sometimes. It is not easy to see the rainbow behind the clouds when you are amid the storm. Difficult times of adjusting to these transitions are also the opportunity to grow. I believe having a supportive & non-judgmental environment helps us heal. If you are struggling with a relationship question, want more out of your relationship, trying to figure out parenting during changing relationship dynamics, or if you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma, etc., then I would feel privileged to create a safe space to start your healing journey.

Trying to conceive has you stuck tracking and obsessing; your fertility clinic is your new second home. Having children was always your dream, but you never imagined it would be this hard. Maybe you're pregnant now, but so afraid to get attached, worried something could go wrong. Everyday you check for symptoms to reassure yourself. Or your baby’s finally here, but you can’t enjoy it.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviors 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 behavioral therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioral 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.
