Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Apple Valley, MN
I am accepting new clients at this time. I specialize in trauma and also work with individuals coming to therapy with a wide spectrum of concerns. My goal is to help clients reduce, manage, and resolve their issues. Clients learn to increase their emotional IQs and emotional regulation skills, develop better communication skills, strengthen their most resourced self, and manage ego states (my anxious part, depressed part, my angry part, etc.). I use cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems (parts work), and other therapies and modalities. In session, treatments are offered and practiced, such as EMDR.

My therapeutic process is client-centered, individual and relational. I remain committed, walking alongside you, meeting you wherever is most appropriate and helpful. Sometimes this may take a session to uncover. However, I do not believe there has to be a “problem” to attend therapy. I stand firm in the belief that there is always room for growth if there is a desire to cultivate a positive change, whatever that may be. My goal is not to keep you in therapy. If you prefer intensive sessions, that last a little longer in time, allow for confidentiality beyond limits of insurance, and prefer quick resolution, we may be a good match.

I am passionate about holding space for people to process through their own unique journey. I strive to create a nonjudgmental and comfortable space where people feel truly seen and heard. My goal is to understand people’s experience from their perspective. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is an essential tool for growth. I work with a wide range of individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, grief/loss, and navigating through life transitions. I have a background working as a hospice social worker providing counseling and have completed training with grief expert Megan Devine.

Thank you for finding my page and choosing yourself. Maybe you’re here because…
You’ve been told you're “too sensitive.” You’ve been dealt a hard hand and need someone in your corner. You’re burnt out, over-functioning, wear more than four hats, and there’s nothing left for you by the end of the day. You’re always in your head. You feel numb but also can’t relax. You know you should stop, but you keep saying yes to everyone around you. You’ve noticed you’re coping more and more with screen time, substances, and other distractions. You feel hopeless, helpless, and nothing is working.

Do you feel like you have to fight your own brain to get through the day? So many people feel like they’re a fish out of water, or like they didn’t get the manual to life that everyone else seems to have memorized. This can be really frustrating, and a really isolating experience. Many times navigating the emotions that come with this experience can add a whole other layer to that struggle, and nobody deserves to struggle with that alone. Having the skills to navigate anxiety, stress, and trauma can help people feel reconnected to those around them and help them build the life they always wanted.

The best indicator of healing in therapy is the quality of the working relationship. I live by these words by offering a safe space for clients to unmask and encourage their needs to be known. Often people are sharing their most vulnerable moments in the four walls of my office and I see it as my duty to honor their experiences with curiosity and gentleness. As a therapist I’m not shy about letting patients know I have personal experience with mental health, addiction, and queer/ trans identity. Clients will likely notice the humor, creativity, and honesty I bring to sessions.

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.
