You are a woman trying to manage everything: work or business, money, stress, relationships, social life, health, and figuring out your purpose, but it feels like something is always off. Maybe your sleep is poor, your body stays tense, certain situations set you off, or old experiences still show up in ways you cannot explain. You might feel disconnected from people, yourself, your faith or values, or even the spaces you live and work in as you push through each day. You are not broken. You are worn down from carrying too much for too long. And you deserve support too.

Many of my clients feel caught in constant “what if” thinking, intrusive thoughts, or a mind that won’t slow down. You might replay conversations, worry about the unknown, or feel on edge socially or in general. This can show up as racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, or strong emotional reactions. Often, these patterns are shaped by early experiences that influence how you see yourself and others. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences and core beliefs shape your thoughts, feelings, and responses, and build tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and secure.

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.
