Over the past twenty years, I have worked with adult clients coming from a wide range of occupations, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. I treat everyone with care and respect. My clients have come in with problems ranging from work stress to grieving, to lifelong problems of anxiety, OCD and depression.

 

I specialize in treating difficult, treatment resistant problems: obsession-only OCD, chronic depression, chronic and pervasive fear/anxiety, and personality disorders.

​

I believe that most difficult-to-treat problems, regardless of diagnosis, have two factors in common.

​

1)  They are created from mis-learnings, mostly in childhood, but also through adult trauma. They skew our understanding of ourselves in the world. 

​

2) They are maintained by emotionally intense intrusive thoughts. These begin outside of consciousness and trigger emotional reactions before they ever come into awareness as conscious thoughts.

​

I have developed a new technique to work on these chronic problems. I call it Desensitization to Intrusive Thoughts or DIT. It's not magic (it depends on daily exercise) but it works where other techniques fail.

​

If you have gone from therapist to therapist without relief, I want to offer you realistic hope. You can learn to be happy, relaxed, productive, and at ease with your body and mind. You can have a life worth living.
