My Belief

I believe every couple and family has the strengths and internal resources to find solutions to their problems. My strength is in working with couples and families with relationship issues, depression, bi-polar, anger management, parenting issues, stopping divorce, affair recovery and sex problems. I believe what is affecting one member of a couple or family affects the other members of the couple or family and approach most issues at the couple and family level.

I also conduct groups and workshops for couples using Michelle Weiner-Davis's Divorce Busting and Marriage Breakthrough approaches and Dr. Glenn Latham's Positive Parenting.

Mission

Assisting couples and families in the development of lifestyles and practices that will allow them to achieve the rich, fulfilling lives they deserve.

Approach To Counseling

My devotion to helping people solve their problem started in 1973. The focus of my services are on five areas that often affect the ways individual, couples and families operate. Those areas are:

	Youth disruptive behavior disorders (ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder)
	Mood Disorders (Depression, Anxiety and Bi-Polar)
	Addictions (Substances, Internet and Sex)
	Relationship problems (including divorce stopping, affair recovery, domestic violence and anger management)
	Sexual problems

The principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy form the foundation to my counseling approach. Based on the individual needs of each client, couple, or family, the principles of behavior analysis, solution-focus, narrative, and systems therapies are used in my approach in the helping process.

What you can expect?

You can expect to find solutions that can lead to rich, fulfilling relationships and gaining lifetime skills can lead to achieving other personal or professional goals. You can expect to be treated with respect and for your privacy to be protected.
