I have worked with thousands - individuals, groups, and couples for twenty (20) plus years. I give and I expect open, honest effort, managed in a professional – ethical and legal manner. While traditional approaches are effective, I often, develop (collaboratively with the client) a personal approach that has unique skills/tools/techniques specific for the client. I began my career as an engineer which taught me that few problems in life are truly impossible to resolve, cope or manage.

My approach to therapy is hope-focused, evidence-based brief therapy. We work to define the problem, then together develop an approach to resolve/cope/manage the problem.

Personal history, culture, life experiences along with core-values, spirituality are considered in an integrative approach to therapy. Yet, keeping in mind that we are each a unique individual person.

Some mental-health conditions are chronic requiring long-term work; most conditions are acute requiring brief work with persistent results. All treatment demand open, honest efforts, managed in a professional – ethical and legal manner.

Treatment techniques are integrative - using psychotherapeutic skills. I meet the client(s) where she/he is, adding other aspects of the entire person. The process is collaborative, client focused helping the client move from where one is to where one needs to be.
