PE, CPT, and ERP are offered for clients that have experienced trauma, suffer with OCD, need support for perinatal mental health issues, relationship issues, and for career counseling.
I love working with millennial professionals dealing with burnout who want to stop people-pleasing and live authentically.
I am not for everyone and I am completely OK with that, it does not mean my rejection sensitivity might sneak up on me.
I will never be the expert in the room with you and I do not believe in scripted therapy. I believe you are without a doubt the expert in your own life and I have much to learn from you. We can always connect and learn how you tick collaboratively.
Once that happens I will keep checking in to ensure we are on track to surpass your established goals.

For anxiety and trauma, I use ERP, Expressive Arts, and Mindfulness to process emotions safely and build resilience.
When others can’t control you, they try to control what others think about you. Many people feel stuck in toxic cycles—trapped by self-doubt, anxiety, or relationships that drain them. They strive for perfection, fearing they’ll never be enough, or stay silent to avoid conflict. They’re people-pleasers, overthinkers, and caught in patterns of manipulation, constantly questioning themselves instead of trusting their instincts. They long for confidence, boundaries, and the freedom to live life on their own terms but feel paralyzed by fear and uncertainty. I help them break free, recognize their worth, and step into their power.

I also treat OCD using ERP, the gold standard.
I support both kids and adults to feel more capable, motivated, and self-accepting and to reduce feelings of overwhelm, chronic indecision, and fear. You deserve to trust in yourself, in others, and in your abilities so you can make decisions and take steps forward. I frequently work with clients dealing with diagnoses like complex PTSD, ADHD, OCD, Autism, and sensory impairments. Because I am an art therapist, we can also process experiences through art-making that feel outside of spoken language.

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.
