CLINICAL SPECIALITIES
ANXIETY / DEPRESSION / RELATIONSHIP ISSUES / CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY / PAIN MANAGEMENT
The work I do, be it short-term or long-term therapy for individuals or couples, is focused on finding solutions to your problems. Trust me, it may not feel like it today, but there is a solution to what is affecting you and your life and how you feel right now. Solution-focused therapy will help you get to a healthier place faster.
As an example, in couples therapy the ultimate goal is fairly clear... to achieve a more intimate, satisfying relationship. By identifying what is not working in your current relationship(s) and of course, reinforcing what you and your partner are doing right, we’ll work to establish new and effective patterns of communication and cooperative behaviors, we’ll explore new ways to handle conflict and develop new strategies for creating the change you are seeking.
GROUP THERAPY: The group process is effective because it allows members to help each other by offering support and giving feedback in the safe and trusting environment and, it provides an opportunity to share common concerns, explore personal issues, and learn new solution focused skills. I provide small group (5 – 7 members) counseling to men and chemical dependency recovery support groups of mixed gender.
ONLINE COUNSELING: In keeping with the times and understanding that our lives get busier and busier, you now have the opportunity to “meet” with me over the internet using Skype or iChat. While perhaps not the most preferred way to do therapy, online therapy is very helpful when you’re out of town or unable to get away from your home or office. It is convenient and private, and very easy to set up and use.
