Exposure Coaching
You're here because obsessive thoughts and compulsions are getting in the way of living your life. These may be as a result of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or how your disordered eating pattern is operating.
​
Living life more aligned with your values versus your fears, and healing from these challenges is possible.
​​
I use the most effective treatments for OCD, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help people overcome their obsessions and compulsions. I will work with you and your team to enhance treatment.​
Together, we will create an environment where you can explore your fears, face them and learn that you can handle uncertainty.
What does working together look like?
Great question! I used to wonder the same thing myself.
​
I got into exposure coaching as I felt that the traditional 'meal support' techniques I learned as an eating disorder dietitian did not cut it. Clients would still struggle with rumination, avoidance or compulsions after meal support exposures, even clients without a diagnosis of OCD.​
​
The need to figure out another approach led me to ERP and exposure coaching. Now, I see clients both outside of (along with the client's team) and within my role as a nutrition therapist/dietitian.
During sessions, you can expect to:
- Understand how much your compulsions and obsessions are interfering with your life
- Determine what behaviors or thoughts want to target through exposure coaching
- Learn how to sit with uncomfortable feelings during exposures, as we go at your pace
- Respond to exposures without engaging in avoidance or more compulsions
- Build resilience that allows you to handle uncertainty
- Identify values and make choices aligned with them
​
Over the years, I have gained training from experts in the field and continue to engage in regular supervision on OCD and conferences.
