Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
ERP for OCD trained by BTTI & PDA level 1 trained by PDA North America.
Feeling stuck and having trouble engaging in what really matters to you? Your brain has done an excellent job keeping you safe, but some strategies developed as a reaction to stressors may no longer meet your needs. Issues like family of origin discord, medical illnesses, neurodivergence, and stressful work environments can all add up to impact our relationship with ourselves and others. I especially love working with high achievers who have issues with perfectionism, burnout, dissociation, procrastination and later in life neurodivergent diagnoses.

Life often hands us challenges we don't feel capable of managing. Our thoughts, feelings, and expectations can be so overwhelming that they become obstacles to making decisions and living our lives to the fullest. Therapy is a safe environment to understand our thoughts and feelings, face pain and fear, and align our lives to our values. The freedom that comes from understanding and facing our challenges is well worth the effort. In treatment, I help cultivate an environment of trust and compassion to face and overcome life's challenges through an integration of CBT, ACT, ERP, relational, and dynamic therapies.

While I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other disorders, for the past 15 years I have focused on the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and over the past 2 years I have immersed myself in a relatively new approach to OCD called I-CBT (Inference Based CBT). Using I-CBT techniques I have had the privilege of helping my clients, many of whom had limited success in prior OCD treatment, finally achieve freedom from this distressing disorder. When indicated I also use Exposure and Response Prevention ( ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My style is warm, inviting, and collaborative.

Therapy is about more than reducing your unwanted thoughts and emotions - it's about building a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and vital. My ideal clients are folks who are seeking to expand their lives from a place of stuckness, trauma, depression, anxiety, or behavioral challenges. We can work on building a life with the qualities you desire, without spending unnecessary time attempting to remove thoughts, emotions, memories, or urges that have been around for a while. What if you could drop the struggle with those challenging experiences completely and invest your energy where it matters?

My primary goal in therapy is to make a space where you do not have to be “on.” Instead, you can feel at ease to share your pain, stress, and struggles with authenticity. I'm intentional about providing an experience that starts with a trusting, hopeful relationship and is tailored to your unique relationships and experiences. Having this type of safe and secure relationship is a launching pad to healing and flourishing in therapy and beyond. From there, we work together to create a plan to move toward the envisioned change that led you to take the vulnerable jump Into therapy.

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.
