ERP Consultation for Clinicians
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety-related conditions. It involves gradually and safely exposing yourself to thoughts, images, objects, or situations that trigger anxiety — while resisting the urge to perform compulsions, avoidance, or reassurance-seeking behaviors.
ERP is effective because it helps retrain the brain’s response to anxiety and discomfort, reducing symptoms and increasing freedom in everyday life.

Why Work With Betty? -
Hi I’m Betty! I specializes in ERP for OCD and anxiety, with a focus on complex cases including mental compulsions, moral scrupulosity, and perinatal/postpartum OCD. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in both clinical expertise and empathy for how exhausting this work can be.
I believe ERP isn’t just about exposures — it’s about empowering people to reclaim their lives from fear, shame, and avoidance. My role is to help individuals and clinicians feel confident navigating difficult cases, create exposures that truly target what matters, and build lives driven by values, not fear.

Supporting clients with perinatal/postpartum OCD, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts
Perinatal OCD and anxiety can be particularly overwhelming, as it combines the natural stress of parenthood with intense, intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to control. These conditions can create a sense of isolation, guilt, and confusion about whether their fears are "normal."I offer Perinatal ERP Support designed specifically for these unique challenges, helping clients address:
Intrusive thoughts — such as fears of harming the baby or being a “bad mother”
Obsessions around parenting decisions — like moral scrupulosity, questioning if you're doing enough or making the right choices
Health and safety compulsions — such as fears about contamination, illness, or safety during pregnancy and postpartum
Avoidance behaviors — like avoiding caregiving tasks or situations that trigger anxiety
Intrusive images or violent thoughts — that can be deeply distressing and challenging to process
