I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to identify and live what matters to them the most—their values. Therapy is most successful when we feel heard while at the same time have someone stand with us and be present with the discomfort we face in life and take the next step forward. My aim is to build a working relationship where clients feel safe and seen, and where their actions are congruent or balanced with the lives they truly want to build for themselves. In this process, clients will be more present, open up to challenges in life and do what matters most to them.

When working with adults, I bring a client-centered foundation to my work while utilizing components from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP), and existential therapies.
I believe that the most important ingredient to successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship itself. My goal is to create a relationship in which my clients feel safe, understood, and free to be their genuine selves. When that is achieved, I believe that clients have the space to build self-compassion, discover their own unique strengths, and explore their goals for a more fulfilling life. I work with clients to collaboratively create treatment plans that fit their needs. I understand that coming to therapy is a vulnerable experience and I am careful to move at each client’s pace to help them feel comfortable.

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.
