Marriage Therapy

Family Therapy
CARE PHILOSOPHY
In my thirty years in the field of counseling, I approach the process of collaboratively working with clients to co-create unique solutions to their issues and problems avoiding cookie cutter solutions. Consequently, setting goals in therapy is not under the complete purview of the therapist but is a mutual decision between client and therapist. I seek first to empathically listen, assess and develop interventions designed to create positive change while respecting the dignity, courage and humanness of people without judgment. At best I endeavor to create the chrysalis or cocoon, a safe environment for clients to grow and develop their wings toward freedom. Although I believe in the value of helping clients gain insight, I do not believe insight alone to be completely curative and seek to help clients change their behavior as well as their awarenesses. I, therefore, employ homework, in-session and out- of- session tasks. I select various techniques from a wide variety of theories.
