I have spent 25 years practicing Multi-Modal Family Centered Therapy. I have developed this method because it offers the ultimate in versatility. In over twenty years of facilitating in-home family therapy I have gained experience in methods offered by few providers. I am often the entire family's or neighborhood's therapist as I do it all. I am available to affect as many or as few elements of your environment based on your needs and co-created treatment plan.
I offer Family, Couples, Individual and Group treatment. Folks often begin thinking they or a family member only need individual treatment. While this can be the case, client's very often prefer the flexibility and effectiveness of my more expansive model.
This "Idiosyncratic Method," approaches every individual and system as an anomaly with no two being the same. I approach every case with compassion, creativity and a winning spirit. I have a super laid back style including therapy dogs. However, make no mistake, this is my life's work and I take my craft and your well being very seriously.
