Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Chicago, IL
I take a warm, direct, and authentic approach to therapy. Building insight in clients is one of the most important parts of therapy. I am passionate about trauma work, as well as OCD work. I have significant experience with both and consider those my "specialties." Do you ever find yourself asking those relentless "what if" OCD questions? I can help with that. What about mental rumination? I can empathize. That being said, due to my work experience in community counseling, I have encountered a multitude of presentations and concerns. I also enjoy working with adolescents, relational concerns, and mood disorders.

I use evidence-based treatments, including Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP) and Mindfulness-based approaches.
You’re successful, responsible, and capable, but your mind won’t give you a break. If you’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing, replaying conversations, or needing reassurance just to feel settled, you may be dealing with high-functioning anxiety. I specialize in helping driven adults step out of relentless mental loops and build real cognitive flexibility.
Many of my clients struggle with intrusive thoughts, rumination, mental checking, perfectionism, or a strong need for certainty. They’ve often tried to “think their way out” of anxiety, only to find that more thinking makes it worse.

I believe that a client-focused, relational, and accepting therapeutic relationship encourages meaningful change and spiritual development.

I've really narrowed down my craft in therapy to focus on anxiety, OCD through ERP, insomnia/sleep issues, ADHD, grief, and other interpersonal issues.

From there we really explore and process their current needs and focus on values to attach therapeutic goals to. As I work with adults the same process happens in tandem with mindful self compassion training.
