My approach to the collaborative effort of psychotherapy is influenced by structural/strategic family systems theory, informing the process of joining with clients to clarify their roles in relationship, family, and community. Creative engagement in experiential learning assists individuals, couples, and families in gaining a fresh perspective through focused work that brings lasting results. I endeavor, in every client relationship, to de-mystify the daunting prospect of change, empowering personal choice in difficult circumstances through guided self-exploration.
Couples counseling is a unique area of clinical competency that I have specialized-in for twenty years, with a supportive stance that assists partners in finding common ground in trying times. As a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, I have dedicated my career to the development of effective interventions for substance and behavioral dependencies.
On the river of Life... we all need a calm space to restore our soul, check our bearings, or set a new course. I am ready to begin the voyage with you at Insight Wellness Services!
