Do you feel like anxiety is taking control of your life? Is panic becoming a part of your day to day life? Do you desire work/life balance but feel it is out of your reach? Do you put so much into your relationships and feel like you don't get anything out of them? Do you find yourself stuck in a loop of behaviors that you cannot seem to stop?

Often, we believe others are worthy of love, but we are not. Sometimes, our experiences in our lives lead us to think that we are unloveable; we believe that we deserve this and come to the conclusion that we are unloved. These experiences led us to believe we are no longer safe for connection. This is a lie. I would like to invite you to an inverse of the golden rule: Do unto yourself as you would do unto others. I welcome anyone who wants this, who doesn't know how to live like this, and/or who is skeptical that this is possible. I believe we are made to become wholly the best version of ourselves.

You’re not broken — you’re searching. Maybe you’ve found success in your life, but something still feels hollow. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by a loss, a transition, or the steady pressure of being human in a world that doesn’t stop moving. Or maybe you’ve started asking big questions about life: Who am I now? What really matters to me? How do I live fully knowing life is fragile and uncertain? These questions can shake your foundations — but also open the door to deeper meaning, clarity, and freedom. I get it: as an adult with ADHD, I know what it is like to yearn for answers to these questions, too.

If you’re like many of my clients, you are looking for an expert in neuropsychological evaluations, or you’ve found me while searching for a therapist specialized in neurodivergent, LGBQIA+, or transgender affirming care.

Maybe you’ve been told you’re slower to warm up or feel chronically misunderstood, but you could blossom if allowed to build trust at your own pace with someone who is gently curious, patient, and motivated to understand your perspective.

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.
