I am certified in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy which is the frontline treatment for OCD.
Are you experiencing a difficult time in your life right now? Are you frequently anxious or tearful? Do you need help with relationships and assertiveness? I have over 10 years experience helping people navigate challenging times in their lives. I have specialized training in helping people with body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as hair pulling (trichotillomania) and skin picking (excoriation) and in helping people with OCD. Though I'm not in network with BCBS, I have had success in securing agreements with them for clients with BFRBs.

I specialize in executive skills, ERP, CBIT, as well as practical cognitive and behavioral strategies.
If children came with instruction manuals, parenting would be so much easier; but they don’t, and being a parent is one of the most difficult jobs in today’s busy world. As a parent, I understand how difficult it can be to manage, teach, and help your child overcome adversities to reach his or her potential. When your child struggles, your teen lashes out, or they are crippled with anxiety, you may feel frustrated or overwhelmed… or both. As a professional, my passion is helping parents and their children, tweens, teens and young adults through life’s challenges--to feel competent to handle their lives.

Using the strengths-based techniques of CBT and ERP, we can work to manage the distressing thoughts and feelings that are plaguing you.
Living with Anxiety and OCD can feel like being trapped in a loop. Thoughts race and you try and distract yourself form your worries and fears, but they just seem to get worse. The things that used to bring joy, now fell like too much, so you avoid them. You feel alone, like no one will understand these thoughts that do not make sense. Seeking reassurance helps for a little while but the anxiety always comes back. Living with anxiety and OCD makes everyday a struggle and it is exhausting. Life without the burden of all these worries can feel out of reach, but it does not have to be this way.

By using ACT, ERP, CBT, and interpersonal feedback, clients learn skills that equip them to take steps toward their values, challenge unhelpful patterns, face fears, build self-compassion, and deepen relationships with others.
I work with children, teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, life transitions, identity, and LGBTQ+ issues. Clients often begin therapy with me in search of relief from OCD/anxiety, support managing the transition into college or adulthood, self-acceptance, a space to explore their identity, ways to create more meaningful relationships with others, or parenting support. I also work with parents to provide insight and teach skills that allow them to confidently support and respond to their child/teen struggling with OCD/anxiety. I am certified in and offer PCIT for children 7 and younger with behavioral challenges.

And yet, as most of us who have repeatedly tried and eventually realized, these internal experiences are not easily controlled.

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.
