I facilitate "Recovery" - replacing old ways of coping by discovering alternatives, and achieving success that has seemed elusive. I utilize a Systems-Oriented approach to help discover new ways to relate/function, so we create new approaches to living and solving problems, living a life that we truly want to live in.
