In therapy this means combining an essential foundation of authentic rapport and unconditional positive regard with the expertise to apply psychological science (including CBT, ACT, EMDR, DBT, ERP) to address specific mental health concerns (including OCD, panic/anxiety, depression, trauma).
I know how difficult the search for a therapist can be. It feels like there's a lot riding on making the right choice, but there's so much uncertainty about what the right choice even entails. Of course you want a professional who seems qualified to address your specific areas of struggle, but it seems to me that the most healing aspect of therapy is the experience of feeling comfortable enough to be radically open with a therapist who you perceive to be compassionate, nonjudgmental, and real. Try to find someone you feel you can click with on an authentic human level; otherwise, it's likely to feel transactional and limiting.

We have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy ( ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.
Therapy always seemed like a wonderful profession to me. I was very close to my grandfather, who was a social worker, so when it came time to pick a major in college, social work was a natural fit. As a therapist, I've worked with many conditions, but I wanted a specialty. I started working at an OCD and anxiety treatment center, and after learning more about OCD and anxiety-based disorders, I fell in love with the work. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of the nuances and intricacies of OCD enables us to properly diagnose and treat it.

I use EMDR, ERP, Attachment Theory, and self-compassion.
We’ve heard people talk about how great therapy is, and no one really mentions how hard and uncomfortable it is. Together, we’ll create a space where you don’t have to be afraid to share your life and explore parts of yourself that have felt too scary. I have helped others to heal from past painful experiences and to find deeper meaning in their lives. You can create better habits, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and shift your perspective. You can expect kindness, authenticity, gentle challenges, pop culture references, and maybe even a swear word or two.

I am a therapist at Anxiety Solutions of Denver where I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety disorders and OCD. My clients often explain that their anxiety and OCD have stripped them of their freedom and joy. Many have also tried traditional talk therapy and have felt hopeless by their lack of sustained progress. I am extremely grateful that I get to help these individuals reconnect with the courage required to live without constraints. Healing from these disorders calls for the guidance of a specialist in most cases. If you are ready to leave anxiety and OCD behind, I am here to help.

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.
