I have a wide knowledge base & a strong foundation as an LMFT, & I specialize in OCD (I love ERP work - I find the principles are helpful for us all!).
Reach out if you'd like to work together starting in Sept or Oct! Are you caught in a cycle, living the same internal or external story over and over? I work with couples, individuals, & families who feel ready to stop living on autopilot & start living with intention. The people I meet don’t come to therapy because they’re “broken." They come because they’ve hit a point where old ways of coping no longer match the life they want to live. Patterns that once protected them now keep them small, tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I help people understand why these patterns formed & how to outgrow them with clarity & compassion.

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.
