I have worked more than 30 years w individuals & families with serious psychological and relational problems including the mood, behavior and substance problems that tear families apart. I help individuals and families navigate the perilous course of finding solutions while we work to improve serenity and sanity for all. Individual work is relational w/psychodynamic and a Real World approach. I have developed the “Stress-Induced Impaired Coping" model for family system distress and recovery. See my 2019 book: “Freedom From Family Dysfunction: A Guide for Families Battling Addiction or Mental Illness.” http://bit.ly/FreedomFamHC
Effective therapy relies on a working alliance based on dignity and trust. That is the focus of our initial sessions, whether we're meeting individually or as a family. My approach employs family systems and relational psychodynamic theories, to promote inner or system balance. Many of my client/families face addiction or more severe psychiatric diagnoses.
Contact me and we’ll chat at no charge about your situation and make an initial plan. Sometimes one of the advanced clinicians I supervise, or another staffer whom I've trained, provide a good fit. When possible we employ a model in which one of us treats the family and others treat some of the individuals. We communicate closely and it's all under 1 roof,
