Clinical Experience:

Most of my work over the past twenty years has been with adult male perpetrators of abuse; both physical and sexual. I have in the last fifteen years begun to work with male adult and adolescent victims of abuse and have worked with adolescent perpetrators and with families which have experienced chronic abuse.  Most recently I am working with high conflict couples who are considering divorce or who are post divorce but struggling to care appropriately for the the children they share.
