I bring Cog-B & mindfulness skills together in our work, untangling the stuck-thoughts, behaviors, & feelings along with acceptance of the present moment. OCD work is ERP exposure/response prevention together at your pace, never forced.
I ask clients, “if you had a magic wand how would you use it to change your life?” Responses highlight the gap between what men want and what they have. I help you navigate this gap by identifying/addressing barriers to creating the life you want.

I don't waste your time, but I do want to get a thorough understanding of your situation before I make action suggestions that will make things better. By the third or forth session, you should be able to tell that things are getting better for you.
Together we will develop a plan that will allow you to grow, flourish, and live optimally. We will discuss challenges presented and determine how best to navigate the challenges using healthy coping strategies that will allow you to be the best you.
