At the present time, I am not accepting new clients for individual counseling. However, I will accept clients for a wait list to join treatment groups that I facilitate throughout the year. These include: Empowering Male Survivors of Childhood Abuse, a monthly ERP work group and a monthly OCD support group for skill review to manage OCD symptoms. There is more information in my profile regarding these group treatments.
My goals are to help each client learn to resolve the conflicts and reduce the stress unique to his or her life. Further, to help each client gain understanding into his or her situations, acquire new skills to improve relationships, and gain a sense of personal well-being.
My practice is informed by psychodynamic clinical training, mental health clinic work, & through CBT as well as ERP training for the treatment of OCD. I also draw upon over 12 yrs of work with abuse survivors that has been further developed in training with the leaders of the field of abuse recovery treatment.
