Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Cherokee County, TX

I specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder self-esteem issues, dysfunctional relationship patterns, boundary issues, and a variety of other issues. I utilize Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Rational Emotoive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Both of these modalities are evidence based and have been shown to be extremely effective. I know what it’s like to not be living the life you want because of these types of issues, but there is a different way. We can get there together.

Finding the right therapist isn’t always an easy endeavor. I hope to bring a judgement free space of trust, vulnerability and mutual respect as we navigate some of life’s most difficult feelings and experiences. I incorporate CBT, ACT and ERP along with various tools I have picked up along the way to better learn how to live an abundant life alongside unwanted thoughts and emotions.

My areas of clinical work include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transition, and substance use issues. I am also passionate about supporting clients with borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. Whether children, adolescents, or adults I am dedicated to helping clients establish boundaries, create healthy coping skills, and build resilience. Ultimately, my desire is to help my clients become more grounded and experience life to the full.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD and ADHD. I also specialize in working with children who have been diagnosed with Autism. Children under the age of 18 often struggle in terms of building strong relationships with family members and peers of their age. Childhood through adolescence can be a challenging time, due to this, children often need additional guidance, as well as someone they can trust/ build rapport with.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to dismiss the importance of mental health. It’s easy to think of all the reasons not to make yourself a priority. Trying to do all the things without investing in yourself, takes a toll on your body and your mind. If you find yourself tired, numb, irritable, anxious, lacking motivation, or burned out, therapy can be a great place to start. What if you tried investing in yourself for a change?

Welcome! Now is a great time to make some positive changes. My specialties include working with couples and individual adults. We focus on building healthy relationships, setting boundaries, managing anxiety, OCD, exploring family dynamics and boosting coping skills. I work with adult trauma, relational trauma, grief and challenging life seasons. With couples, we practice effective communication, build understanding, set realistic expectations, and pursue emotional safety. We address family of origin and other individual struggles, and (re) create a meaningful connection with each other. My worldview is Christian.

I enjoy working with individuals and families of all types. My goal is to help people live a happier and more fulfilling life by working through their challenges. I have experience working with young children, tweens/teens, adults, and families on a broad range of issues. I believe in focusing on the strengths of each person or family I work with and building from there. I am willing to work with anyone who would like help and is open to making positive changes in their life.
