Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in California

Do you feel tortured by intrusive thoughts? Is your life ruled by a never-ending series of 'what-if's', each more horrifying than the last? You've been hiding your struggle behind a veil of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and other self-sacrificing behaviors, but it's getting exhausting. You're tired of the rituals, the constant reassurance seeking, and the disconnect you feel from your body and the humans around you. Trying to talk yourself out of a thought spiral only seems to make things worse and you're not sure how to move forward. It doesn't have to be like this! Calm is closer than you think.

Has your world been turned upside down drastically or maybe your stress has been building for a while? You're not sure when it started but you no longer feel confident, secure, or in control of your own body or thoughts. Has anxiety, worry and stress robbed you of time, energy, and sleep? Do you find yourself battling intrusive, disturbing thoughts, fears or images? Do you spend energy, focus, and time trying to avoid or managing anxiety? Do you often seek reassurance on the internet or from loved ones? You can feel calmer and in control again. My approach is kind, thoughtful and encouraging. My methods are guided by known results.

My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative. In my practice, I help clients develop insight into cognitive beliefs and behavioral patterns that no longer serve them. Maybe you’ve been experiencing depression, anxiety, challenges in relationships or you’ve been stuck in cycles that you struggle to make sense of, cannot seem to break. I am passionate about supporting clients through this healing. I meld both cognitive therapies as well as bringing into awareness the mind-body connection, helping clients heal the impacts of these experiences on the body, as it is my belief that focusing on the mind is just one piece to the puzzle.

As a psychologist with over nine years of experience working with youth and families, it is my goal to help children, teens, and parents through challenging times in their lives and to help them navigate the mental health system. Children and teenagers who have anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, or behavioral outbursts often feel alone in their struggles and this can be very overwhelming for parents and families. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults with anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, emotion dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I also provide parent guidance therapy and coaching.

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. All the advice you get from those closest to you feels so out of touch with the agony of daily doubts around the things that matter most. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

You are tired of intrusive thoughts! You can't stop wondering “what if” about every little thing. You desperately want to stop checking things again and again, because you never find the answer anyway. Deep in your heart you struggle to figure out: "Is this really me...or is it OCD?" You are terrified of talking about all this. You don't want to be labeled a "bad person" ...or even falsely reported to authorities. You just want someone to rescue you from your own brain so you can go back to living life.

I try to create a light-hearted and non-judgemental environment that allows individuals to build confidence and autonomy while gaining back control over mental health struggles.
