I am a licensed psychologist who works with adults using ACT, CBT, ERP, EFT, and clinical hypnosis when appropriate.
If OCD or anxiety has taken over too much of your life, you may already know how exhausting it is to live inside constant checking, reassurance seeking, overthinking, avoidance, or intrusive thoughts you cannot shake. You may also struggle with ADHD, insomnia, shame, trauma, depression, relationship stress, hair pulling, or skin picking. These patterns can make you feel trapped even when you understand them. With focused therapy, you can stop organizing your life around fear and begin moving toward steadier ground. Understanding the pattern matters, but real change usually requires practicing a new way of meeting it.

Using ERP and DBT, I help clients build skills, face fears, and create meaningful change.
For a long time, I was my own worst critic, believing that being hard on myself was the key to growth. While that strategy may produce short-term results, relentless self-criticism often creates more barriers than motivation—and leaves little room for positive emotion. Many people come into therapy feeling trapped by their emotions or believing their feelings mean something is wrong with them. I help clients understand that emotions are not problems to eliminate, but signals to learn from.

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.
