Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based modality for treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In ERP, clients work with a trained therapist to learn how to gradually expose themselves to thoughts, images and situations that provoke anxiety without engaging in compulsions to soothe the anxiety. This gradual exposure leads to the reduction of anxiety over time, "retraining" your brain to no longer see these things as a threat.

You're struggling to find your footing, held back by the weight of traumatic experiences or just trying to navigate the day riddled with anxiety or unrelenting sadness. You can remember a time when life didn't seem so heavy but wonder if it's possible to return to that place. You are surrounded by others who are unaware of the depth of your suffering, and you work hard not to burden them with your problems. You bury yourself in distractions just to experience momentary relief.

The world has a way of teaching us to feel like we aren't good enough, like we're worthless, and like we're alone, but I'm here to help you unlearn. Our goal is to build a set of coping skills that enables you to separate identity from trauma, navigate the world with more self-compassion, and rewire your neural pathways.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Thoughts like "I'm not feeling like myself," might feel central to the story of what brings many of my clients therapy. Things might look 'fine' to the outsider, but internally, the story looks different. My client is often the professional navigating various life roles, looking to build insight into patterns of struggle and enhance skills of support. My specialty areas are anxiety (including OCD), struggles with perfectionism, life transitions and stressors, and family of origin work.

I work with patients that span the age range from 6 to 100. Beyond medication management, I use a blend of therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (for anxiety and depression), Exposure Response Prevention (for OCD), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (for Trauma) and Solution-Focused Therapy (for immediate improvement and better outcomes).
