Experience
I completed my master’s degree in 1995 and have twelve years experience in the
mental health field. I have worked at a community mental health center, a
psychiatric/chemical dependency hospital setting and in private practice. I
have worked with groups, families, couples, individuals, adolescents and children.
Theoretical Orientation
The type of therapy that I offer is based on family systems theory. My approach
draws from an eclectic blend of many types of family therapy such as structural,
strategic, object relations, behavioral, transgenerational, solution-focused and
experiential.
Guiding Philosophy
I believe a family’s patterns of communication and behavior influence the
individual and need to be part of the treatment plan. I believe that individuals
and their problems must be seen in context, and the most important context is the
family. No matter how many people are present for a session, treatment will be
concerned with the set of relationships in which a person is embedded. With this
viewpoint I treat individuals and their families who are facing severe mental
illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, affective
disorders, PTSD or addictions and substance abuse. I treat sexual abuse victims,
couples in conflict and distress, adolescents and younger children with conduct
disorders and/or substance abuse issues, families with parent-child conflict,
families dealing with a chronic illness in one or more of its members and
families in which one or more members are dealing with unresolved loss
and grief. Interventions may be aimed at and influenced by family roles,
patterns, rules, goals, belief systems and stages of development.
General Information
Appointments: Clients are seen by appointment only. Appointments can be
made by phone or in person but must be made directly with me.
Fees: The fee for an initial evaluation is $125. The fee for a family,
couple or individual session is $100. The fee for group therapy varies depending
on the size of the group but is usually around $50.
Payment: An insurance co-pay or a payment of $50 is expected at every session.
Payment can be made with a personal check, cash or with a credit/debit card.
If you wish I will file your insurance for you.
Families exist in many different forms, whether marriage has occurred in the
legal sense or not. I invite people who were or currently are members of
heterosexual, same-sex, culturally similar, inter-cultural, same race,
inter-racial, and other forms of family to engage with me for relational
development and problem solving within their cultural contexts.
