I have advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat OCD, anxiety disorders and depression.
Do your obsessions and compulsions impact your daily life, leaving you feeling exhausted? Do you feel dragged down by self-defeating thoughts? Are you struggling to move past those challenging, or even traumatic experiences? I understand that living with the invisible burden of OCD, depression, anxiety, trauma, and even navigating life transitions can be an isolating and scary experience. You are not alone in how you are feeling. My top priority as a therapist is for clients to feel comfortable working with me, and for you to see sustained positive change from our work together.

Through over eight years of experience, I’ve found that the best approach to the therapeutic process is by the hand. Treatment can be a challenging endeavor - it requires vulnerability during conversations, patience with ourselves and with the process itself, and a level of self-compassion that can be uncomfortable to express. Using evidence-based treatment modalities, specifically Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a strength-based and solution-focused approach, I take your hand and guide you through it.

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.
