Theoretical Orientation
I work from a family systems perspective. This means that instead of looking for who to blame or what diagnostic label to give, the therapy tries to understand the issues in the context of what causes and perpetuates them. In general, the therapy is solution focused, meaning that it tries to build on strengths, pragmatic (teaches practical, take away skills), and brief (usually taking months, not years). Specifically, I use cognitive behavioral therapy, including exposure and response prevention (ERP) for OCD, communication and interpersonal skill building, as well as psychoeducational and supportive therapy. |
