I work with people of all ethnicities and faiths. I have a particular understanding of the nuances and dynamics of Orthodox/ observant Jewish life as well as fundamentalist religious life . I work with the complex transitions people endure when leaving or trying to renegotiate the religions of their childhood. I also speak Hebrew.
Group Psychotherapy for people struggling with trauma related ocd
I offer a somatic and relational treatment approach for people struggling with treatment resistant ocd that has not responded to traditional ERP and for people who have been too afraid to try ERP. I also offer groups for psychotherapists struggling with OCD. This approach is based on my published article on the subject in the British Gestalt Journal.
