Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based modality recognized as the gold standard for treating anxiety and OCD.

Anxiety-related disorders (such as OCD, generalized anxiety and panic disorder) can be effectively treated with ERP. It's important for us to first build some strong relaxation and coping skills.

Although this treatment can feel really hard, it is so effective in relieving anxiety, fear, and building confidence and self-assurance.

It’s challenging work, but it’s also empowering—and with commitment and support, it's effective.

As and Eating Disorder Therapist, I am passionate about engaging in exposures, as this is one of the most effective ways to heal from an Eating Disorder. I love to do this in sessions so I can actively support, and I take a very collaborative approach to this to work together on how to reach the goal of adequate, varied nourishment with lots of choices and low anxiety around different foods or environments.

I have experience and expertise using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to treat anxiety disorders and OCD. Together with client, I create a hierarchy of feared situations and gradually expose client (starting with the least to most anxiety inducing situation) to their fear, phobia, thought. The goal is to normalize the situation and reduce the distress/anxiety level; ultimately the individual learns to face previously feared situations with minimal or no anxiety.
