I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders using evidence-based treatments (specifically ERP, CBT, DBT, and ACT - if you don't know these acronyms yet, that's okay!).
Hi, I’m Kayla. Are fear and anxiety holding you back from living your life? I’m confident I can help! Anxiety presents in many ways: you might notice intrusive thoughts or doubts leading to a constant need for reassurance. You might be weighed down by life’s “what ifs.” You may sometimes feel like you’re trapped in your mind, spiraling through worst case scenarios. Anxiety can make day-to-day life very challenging. But you can conquer it, and I’m excited to show you how.

I've received specialized training for treating anxiety and OCD with ERP and ACT models.
Sometimes, we get stuck in patterns that might have been helpful at some point in our lives but are not so helpful to us now. These patterns show up in the ways we respond in our relationships, in work/school, to challenges, and to ourselves. We’ll approach therapy as collaborators to build up your skills and strengths to get you unstuck. In our work together, we'll gently explore the past, so we can create an action plan for a different future. We'll recontextualize what no longer serves you and make space for your curious, creative self to emerge.

I am passionate about supporting clients through this healing. I meld both cognitive therapies as well as bringing into awareness the mind-body connection, helping clients heal the impacts of these experiences on the body, as it is my belief that focusing on the mind is just one piece to the puzzle.

My framework draws from a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP), which allows those struggling with OCD and anxiety to reconnect to their values and live in alignment with their true selves.

These unwanted thoughts might make you feel stuck in a difficult cycle of fear and anxiety. In my work, I honor this sensitive and individualized process by meeting you at your own pace while gently encouraging you to examine your thoughts mindfully, experience your feelings openly, and embrace the great unknown. My approach is warm and collaborative, offering space for authentic, human connection in the therapy room.

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.
