The intent of the essay portion of this web page is to offer insight into varying techniques and counseling philosophies deemed helpful for mental health and human development concerns.

I hope that this information will be useful to persons with obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, as well those who seek to learn more about general wellness.

I will cite evidence-based research as well as share reflections and observations taken from my personal experiences counseling individuals with OCD and other mental health concerns.

Stories shared on this site are told to illustrate concepts and are not representative of any individual client. Obviously, names used are fictitious.

To be in the present moment is the means to mental wellness.
