I allocate my time and practice between two specific and unique issues: one being sexually related problems, the other being OCD. With sexually related issues, they can show up as relationship problems, infidelity, arousal discrepancy, or LGBT matters. Likewise, with OCD, there are many different forms and subtypes: harm, scrupulosity, contamination, sexual, symmetry/order/balance/just right. I am trained and experienced in both fields, utilizing tools and interventions to treat one or the other, and sometimes both.
I practice with an emphasis in Attachment Theory. This focuses on relationships formed in early childhood that have carved out patterns of relationship dynamics into adulthood. I am also trained in Exposure and Response Prevention to treat OCD specifically.
I believe in treating each person as a human. Reaching out can be difficult to do, sharing your vulnerability. It says a lot that you are already here researching. I commend you on your courage to do so and would be honored to help improve the quality of life by reducing the level of distress and/or impairment you are currently experiencing.
