I provide a collaborative space that is open-minded and non-judgmental for clients to share their stories and experiences with me. I strive to create a therapy space that is collaborative where clients feel heard and respected.

Have you lost your way? Perhaps your life was headed in one direction when an unexpected event changed the direction of your life and you feel alone and disoriented. Or perhaps you are in a relationship with someone that you love that has become mentally abusive and you have lost the person inside that you used to be. Or maybe you have changed over the years through life’s experiences and the career that you once loved no longer fits you and are looking for a new path but have no idea where to start. If any of these stories sound familiar, just know that while you may be lost, you are not alone.

If you feel overwhelmed or lost, therapy can lead you to a better path and healthier future. Many people struggle for years before asking for help. Are panic attacks keeping you from doing things that you want to do? Are you walking around with a trauma history that you have never fully dealt with? Imagine being able to live the life you want to live without being shackled by emotional limitations.

Life has a way of bringing us to our knees at times. It can feel completely overwhelming to navigate the emotions and experiences that come with being human. The good news is, you don't have to do it alone. I’d love to help you learn to process emotion in a way that fosters acceptance and healing. I specialize in working with adult individuals struggling with grief, anxiety, trauma, body image, life transitions (ie: college, parenthood, divorce, spiritual deconstruction), and caregivers of children with special needs. I work with clients from religious and non-religious contexts.

Imagine a house is on fire, but the fire is only in one bedroom. What would you do? I think most people would call for help to extinguish the fire before it spreads. Now, imagine the house is you and the fire is whatever you're facing: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, big life changes. Do you tell yourself "it's not that bad" or "people have it worse than me"? I want you to know that you don't have to wait till that fire spreads to all the other rooms. You don't have to wait to get help. What you are walking through and what you're feeling is valid. You deserve to feel whole.

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.
