Introduction

Approach

My approach is to understand, be objective and ask questions to help you clarify your situation. My thinking about human behavior is guided by Bowen family systems theory, which suggests that individuals cannot be understood in isolation from one another.  With improved observation and understanding of family emotional process, it is possible for individuals to find the answers for many of their problem within themselves.  I think my ability to be neutral, my acceptance of others, and my experience are an asset in "lending a hand" to those facing difficult situations.
