ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. My expertise is working with individuals who suffer with OCD and Anxiety. Those of you who struggle with this disorder can attest to the intrusive nature of your obsessions and compulsions. OCD disrupts your mental capacity to know what is true. You are in a constant state of anxiety, questioning your unwanted thoughts, like a recording on auto-replay. While OCD can be anxiety-provoking, there is hope for a better way of working through your struggle. The therapeutic process can help sufferers, like you, come to understand the nature of your OCD and learn to live a more value-centered life.

I have nearly 47 years experience in many different settings working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families. I enjoy working with all people and believe each person has taught me that all people have unique genetic and environmental backgrounds. I have been trained in many different treatment/therapy modalities. No single modality is capable of treating all people. While there are some general "norms", each person has many unique biological and social influences that are constantly changing and individually being interpreted resulting in different normalities for each person.

Working through Trauma is an incredibly personal and courageous journey, one that feels like a battle against both invisible wounds and the weight of the past. It’s a slow and painful process, filled with moments of doubt, fear, and heartbreak. But there’s something undeniably powerful about each step forward, no matter how small. It's in the moments when you choose to face the darkness that you begin to reclaim your power and your peace. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding strength in the scars and learning that you are more than your pain. Through the struggle, you rediscover hope, resilience, and joy once again.

I strive to be relationship focused in all I do as a counselor, even in my individual work. I believe the research and have observed how loneliness hurts: we thrive when connected and struggle when isolated. I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples; I focus on family work with children because individual play therapy is often unhelpful, in the long-term; Filial Play Therapy and PCIT are my favorites models for parents with their children. I utilize ACT and Arbinger principles in most of my work. I foster connections with my clients but especially between clients and their people, including their spiritual Connection.

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.
