Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Woodbury, MN
“In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth, or to step back into safety.” Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re taking that step forward again, welcome. Trauma, loss, anxiety, and prolonged stress can shape how you feel in your body, connect in relationships, rest, and move forward. I work with adults navigating trauma, grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and patterns that continue to surface, even when they understand where those patterns began.

I specialize in ADHD and ASD (Autism) and also treat obsessions and compulsions, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem concerns, and depression. I support the fact that every individual possesses unique strengths built day by day, and I strive to incorporate the unique values in every individual when creating a therapeutic experience of comfort, motivation, and positive growth. In practice, I use cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance/commitment therapy. I greatly enjoy working with both children and adults in this approach. Additionally, I also have a considerable background in performing arts and sports.

I'm a licensed therapist certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), with training in EMDR and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention).
I work with high-achieving women who have built successful, full lives but privately struggle with anxiety, burnout, and the pressure of always holding it together. You may be thoughtful, driven, and dependable, yet your own needs often come last. Many clients seek therapy during life transitions, while working through unresolved trauma, or when pushing through no longer works. Through virtual therapy, I help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and create lasting change so you can feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally free not just functional.

I am dually licensed in the state of Minnesota and state of Wisconsin.

I highlight accountability and appropriately challenge clients to apply the things processed and discovered in therapy into their daily lives. I work with clients using a strength based, client-centered, and collaborative approach. I also help individuals in creating and maintaining lifelong skills to better manage challenges and current symptoms.

You’re exhausted—mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Your thoughts spiral. Your emotions feel too big. You’re questioning your faith—or struggling with your kids, your partner, your job. You lie awake, second-guessing everything. You feel stuck, alone, and emotionally worn down. You’re at the end of your rope, unsure how to move forward. Therapy can help you get clarity and feel better about your life. You need someone who “gets it” to help heal what hurts and lead you to more calm, confidence, and peace of mind. I help figure out why you’re stuck, get out of the overwhelm, and into a healthier version of you.

Additionally, I am trained in and can provide Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP) to individuals with OCD.
Hello! I am glad you are here. Starting therapy is a huge step and can bring up many emotions. I also recognize that I am a stranger you are telling your life story to. My goal is to create a trusting, collaborative, and warm therapeutic space. I strive to help you achieve your goals, gain insight into you as a person, and be your best self. Throughout my education and clinical experience, I learned that everyone needs someone who can meet them where they are in life without judgment.

Clients often seek me out for ERP therapy for anxiety and intrusive thoughts, ART for trauma and distressing experiences, as well as support for pregnancy, postpartum, and major life transitions.
Your mind never fully slows down. You’re constantly thinking ahead, worrying about worst-case scenarios, or trying to make sure everyone else is okay while quietly falling apart yourself. Maybe motherhood, pregnancy, relationship stress, intrusive thoughts, or a major life transition has left you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. You miss feeling calm, present, and like yourself again. I help women better understand their anxiety, build practical tools for managing it, and feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their everyday lives.

The use of ERP for OCD is the standard in my practice, this structured approach helps us to prioritize concerns and symptoms while teaching you a new set of long-term coping skills to use even after you complete therapy.
I specialize in working with anxiety concerns, OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, and body-focused repetitive behaviors in individual therapy. I am a certified Exposure and Response Prevention Therapist (EX/RP) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Working with an exposure therapist will help you work through feared situations and thoughts with supportive feedback and skill development. I also offer traditional talk therapy to assist clients in gaining coping skills and processing distress tailored to individual needs using a person-centered, non-judgmental, and present-focused approach to my practice.

We don't always choose what happens to us but we do have a choice in how we respond to what happens. Therapy can assist in helping create healthy constructive responses that nurture growth and healing. I hope to create a safe, non-judgmental space in order for this to happen. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, parent/child conflict, codependency, life transitions, grief/loss, OCD, ADHD, and personality disorders. I am also an EMDRIA approved EMDR trained clinician.
