I use evidence-based approaches—like Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for lasting change.
Have you been living with anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)? Do intrusive thoughts or images show up uninvited, leaving you confused or overwhelmed—especially when it feels like you've tried everything, even years of talk therapy, with little relief? If so, you’re not alone. Many people go years—often 13 to 17—before receiving an accurate OCD diagnosis. But here’s the hopeful part: with the right approach, OCD is highly treatable.

While I use a variety of therapy interventions and techniques personalized to each individual, the combination of ERP and ACT in the treatment of OCD, phobia, and anxiety is particularly efficient and effective.
Hello, I'm Laura, and I help people take their lives back from fear and chronic self-doubt. If you're here, you might often feel like worry and doubt are controlling your life. You may feel the urge to perform certain rituals or behaviors to ease your distress, or perhaps you're caught in a mental tug-of-war, unable to decide. No amount of reassurance seems to ease your mind for long. Your hobbies, work, and relationships might be feeling the strain. Despite your best efforts to feel better, you feel more trapped, exhausted, and alone.

I specialize ERP & ACT, which are evidenced based treatments for anxiety & OCD.
Many of my clients report constant uncertainty, panic, fears, an endless chase for the fleeting “good feeling”, rituals, checking, counting - it’s exhausting. The physical or mental compulsions almost always end with “Oh, crap, that didn’t feel right,” and OCD saying, “Better do it again!” The anxiety never seems to let up and they feel powerless, trapped between a rock and a hard place. And on top of all that, OCD has this way of targeting their deepest vulnerabilities, striking where it hurts the most. It’s a miserable cycle.

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.
