I often integrate ERP, ACT, and IFS interventions.
To help clients live life authentically, I believe in showing up to sessions authentically myself. My approach to therapy centers your personal and cultural values, while I offer my expertise to make changes you desire. You may feel held back from living the life you want because anxious thoughts have too much power or take up too much time. Sometimes the thoughts are obsessive yet difficult to share with anyone because they don't align with who you are - the very fact that they cross your mind can feel scary, weird, or embarrassing. I help clients confront and overcome them while using humor and being real with you in the process.

My approach combines narrative, sensorimotor psychotherapy, ERP, and EMDR, blending top-down (cognition) and bottom-up (somatic and nervous system) approaches.
You deserve a therapist who gets you. Someone who won’t blink when you talk about your OCD spirals, your queer joy (or grief), your trauma, or your kink identity. Whether you’re exploring gender euphoria, ethical non-monogamy, or just trying to feel more grounded—I'm here to walk with you, not ahead of you. I’m a queer-, kink-, and poly-affirming therapist who believes in therapy that’s real and collaborative. I particularly enjoy working with those healing from relational and religious trauma and OCD.

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.
