I use a variety of modalities and we will create a tailored approach including ACT, ERP, and the Flash technique.
Are you or your teen experiencing anxiety? ADHD? OCD? Do you find yourself stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that get in the way of relationships, education, work, or personal growth. What if you could have deeper insight and compassion into your internal experiences? What if you could also learn new skills to change behaviors that aren't working for you? We can work together to understand and release what is holding you back and create more ease, meaning, creativity, and possibility for the future.

I imagine if you are looking at this page, you've come to a point in your life where you're looking for things to change and your life to be easier. You may have been in therapy before and found it to be less than successful. Or maybe you've been happy in therapy in the past and are looking to begin again. You may question why you should go to therapy when you could just as easily talk to your hairdresser, a bartender or a friend. Or maybe this is your first time looking for help.

I came to the world of therapy the long way, following two decades of outdoor leadership, adventure group work, mountain guiding, and experiential education. I found many connections between my work as an outdoor leader and my work as a therapist. I believe the same principle used by leaders to help folks achieve their goals in the backcountry apply to our everyday lives. I feel I can be most helpful to those who accept being challenged and are working towards goals.

What is holding you back from living the life you want? OCD? Panic? Social Anxiety? How would you act if fear, shame and distress didn't have such power over you? We can learn to change how we relate and interact with our internal world and decrease the power our thoughts and emotions have on us. I am passionate about helping my clients learn to manage internal and external barriers effectively and regain a sense of wellness and value in their life. Motivation is crucial in treatment, but successful therapy starts with a good relationship between the therapist and the client.

Our problems are very reliable. They keep presenting themselves for our consideration. Your ability to be successful in therapy is closely tied to your willingness to stop and look around, take ownership, and choose a path forward. This requires creativity, effort, and courage. You employ your existing skills and strategies while learning new ones, ultimately moving each day towards living a life of integrity - a life in which your actions match your values. You stop running from problems and instead welcome their return, because these problems help you clarify what is truly important. The problem becomes the solution.

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.
