The primary treatment I use for OCD and related concerns is Exposure and Ritual Prevention (ERP), which is the most researched method of treating OCD and has seen the most success in treatment so far, and I use some aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well.
I have some limited openings and I am only accepting clients for OCD-related concerns and Tourette’s/Tic Disorders at this time. If you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, phobias, or social anxieties, I would be talk over the phone or sit down for a consultation to see if treatment with me may be helpful. I have worked with a variety of concerns in the past, but have limited my practice to OCD-related disorders and Tourette’s/Tic Disorders due to limited treatment availability in the area.

I follow the gold standard approach when it comes to helping Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Exposure Response Prevention (or “ERP"), which I combine with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, promoting "psychological flexibility".
Intrusive thoughts are robbing you of your time and quality of life. Anxiety has you on edge and unable to relax. As your therapist, I will help you recover the joy and peace you once had. How is this possible? By genuinely listening to your concerns, utilizing proven therapies, and being a reliable resource for your growth. OCD and anxiety do not have to rule your life.

Sometimes we may compare life to hiking a mountain with a 100lb pack, in the rain, with mud up to our shins. We are weighed down, can't see far in front of us, and footing is slippery. Other times, we may find ourselves constantly on the go and when we lay down at night our minds buzz with the events of the day, our to-do list for tomorrow, and the worries of life. Whether you struggle with burnout, "stupid people", depression, anxiety, or life, in general, you are not alone. Every client is different regardless of similar experiences and symptomology, and therefore, my approach to counseling will be tailored to the individual.

“No need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer” – Viktor Frankl. Sometimes we hide our pain or get stuck on the how of life; however, starting counseling is a courageous act on the path to finding the why. My why is to help the community that I grew up in with genuine compassion for each person who is struggling. People have always felt comfortable opening up to me, and I always find ways to help my community. Also, being a Colorado Springs native, I have always loved the outdoors and exploring its beauty.

I have always had a genuine interest in the uniqueness and well-being of others. I believe that we can all grow from the situations we have experienced. Whether that experience be divorce, abuse, addiction, or trauma of some sort. Our brains & bodies have a way of healing themselves through processing. Certain experiences can cause us to feel alone, anxious, sad, depressed, unmotivated, angry, violated, exposed, and at times emotionally unstable. Here in therapy I walk the journey with you as we work through emotions, gain insight, and create more beneficial perspectives. I provide a space of safety, understanding, and compassion.

Are you afraid of being contaminated or items not being sanitary? Do you obsess about the fact that you may have chosen the wrong partner? Are you afraid to go outside or be in crowds?

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.
