I'm a bilingual EMDR certified therapist licensed in OR, WA, DC and MD. I work with adults who have experienced adversity, from early attachment issues or abuse to assaults by strangers and from a single traumatic incident to repetitive/complex trauma. I believe that trauma lives in parts of our brain that are difficult to change by talk therapy and, therefore, a bodily-aware modality can help the processing in a deeper and more long-lasting level. I provide culturally competent care for people who have gone through rejection/discrimination, helping them to process those events and celebrate their resilience and authenticity.

I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP) for OCD, anxiety disorders, phobias, trichotillomania, skin picking, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors.
OCD doesn’t just create anxiety — it hijacks your body. Intrusive thoughts attach to what matters most to you, triggering intense physical reactions that feel urgent and dangerous. You may feel stuck checking, analyzing, seeking certainty, or trying to think your way out of anxiety, only to feel more exhausted and trapped over time. The problem isn’t a lack of insight — it’s a nervous system caught in a threat loop that keeps pulling you back in.

I have advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, and help clients face intrusive thoughts with less fear and more freedom.
Do intrusive thoughts get stuck in your mind and feel impossible to shake? Thoughts like, “What if I’m a terrible person?”, “What if I don’t actually love my spouse?”, or “What if I get a deadly disease?” These thoughts can feel so threatening that you may end up checking things repeatedly, replaying conversations, or seeking reassurance, but the relief never lasts. It can be exhausting, confusing, and scary to live this way. You’re not alone, and effective treatment is available.

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.
