It is my belief that we are all seeking answers as to why we are here and what our purpose is. The only way to find these answers is to identify our values, strengths, weaknesses and barriers and also address what makes us suffer. I believe in healing and nurturing the very aspects of ourselves that make us unique and believe that through changes and transitions we learn how resilient and powerful we really are . With consistent therapy, we are able to step back, reflect and plan for how to respond and endure challenges that arise in our lives while learning appropriate coping techniques and routines.

I use EMDR for trauma and ERP for OCD.
Wellness is more than the absence of problems. It is the lived experience of feeling more free, more steady, and more fully yourself. I work from the belief that the resources for healing are already within you, and that therapy helps you access and strengthen them with clarity and care. As Krishnamurti wrote, “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” The context we live in matters, and part of my work is helping you name that reality clearly so shame loosens and agency returns. From there, we focus on what is workable: steadier regulation, clearer boundaries, and more authentic connection.

Throughout life, we will encounter difficult times that bring about emotional and behavioral challenges. These challenges can impact us in many ways from relationship issues to self-esteem problems, to discomfort at work, school or in social settings.

I take an integrative approach that draws from trauma informed care, mindfulness, and cognitive and behavioral interventions. I engage in trauma assumed care and neurodiversity affirming care.

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.
