For OCD, I specialize in CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP).
I specialize in OCD and sex therapy, and where the two overlap. I work with obsessive themes of all kinds— from germs to relationships and existential concerns. But if you’re anxious about the types of thoughts you’d prefer to never tell another living soul— like hurting people, pedophilia, sexual orientation, incest…that sort of thing— I’m definitely the right therapist. That stuff is my speciality. You’ll be surprised how easy it will be to talk to me about it.

Together, we will explore patterns, belief systems, coping strategies, and past experiences that may still be impacting your current day-to-day and relationships.

I am EFT & ERP trained and have certification in Gottman Level 1.
You may be used to telling yourself that what you're feeling isn't that bad, that other people have it worse, or that you should just keep going. Many of my clients are capable, dependable adults who have spent years being the steady one for others. Over time, that kind of quiet endurance can lead to anxiety, emotional numbness, or a sense of disconnection from yourself.
I offer a calm, respectful space to slow things down. Therapy here isn't about fixing you or pushing for change before you're ready. It's about helping you understand what you've been carrying and how to take care of yourself without guilt or pressure.

In our world, mental health is often met with judgement and criticism. Often people do not grasp the depth and complexities of suffering that occur within our minds and in our world. In my view, therapy is a space where what is unspeakable can become acknowledged and what is misunderstood can become accepted. As a licensed professional counselor, I believe all people are unique in their beliefs, life experiences, and cultural backgrounds; thus I do not believe in a one size fits all therapy. I enjoy getting to know my clients as a whole person, not as simply a symptom or diagnosis.

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.
