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.

We live in a society where fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and depression are all too common and on the rise. For one reason or another it can feel like the world is crashing down around us with no way out. When it feels unmanageable, therapy can help you find the light at the end of the tunnel.

I also work with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community including transgender & non-binary clients.

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.
