About
I enjoy working with clients who come to me in crisis with some awareness that their existing coping resources and skills have been overwhelmed to the point they need some help to grow through the situation. Though it typically begins concretely with stress and conflict management, this work often deepens into fruitful reexamination of personal values, family dynamics, problematic relationship patterns, and existential or spiritual themes. I see individual problems as often having been forged in the crucible of one's family of origin, which has often severely limited one's ability to respond well to all of life's demands. My experience with addiction and recovery gives me some insight into human transformation from brokenness to wholeness, and how this recovery process involves both external and internal life changes. This process generally applies to other kinds of emotional problems, losses, and traumatic experiences, and points to a lifestyle of "recovery spirituality." I like to engage clients' spouses and family members in conjoint sessions to help them communicate their wants and needs in these primary relationships. Thankfully, I have some success helping committed couples return from the brink of very destructive relationship patterns using the insights of both attachment and family systems theories.
