"I am interested in how the individual changes and grows in relation to the systems to which s/he belongs. Therefore, I assess and treat the client within the context of all of those systems--individual (body/mind/heart/spirit), couple, family, school, work, community, and so forth. Techniques from several different theory models are woven into the "systemic" framework, allowing me to provide an individualized therapy experience for each client."
