Theoretical Orientation

Parents, children, families and couples are constantly being asked to adapt to changes in their daily lives. This change is necessary for anyone to make it through the day and mostly integrated without much problem. However, there are times when we struggle to adapt or maybe don't know the best way to change. It is my belief that it is the job of a counselor to help rediscover your own strength and skill to create long lasting change. I work primarily from a family systems and approach, emphasizing the role of attachment figures (parents, partners and families) in recovery, while also incorporating collaborative problem solving, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
