One size never fits all. Each person and issue needs its own caring approach. Therapy includes: DBT, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, internal family systems, and trauma work, all with acceptance, warmth, and healing. Gains rely on maximum challenge with maximum support. I have successfully struggled in my life as a son, husband, and father of four. I know the pain of being wounded and the rewards of healing. For over 50 years I have helped kids and families as a teacher, school counselor, therapist, and supervising professor in three graduate counseling programs, including the Captains' Masters at the USMA at West Point.

When seeking help, we first need the safety and security of warmth and acceptance. In our vulnerability, we need our integrity and our pain validated and respected. We need an integration of healing that includes mind. body, and soul. Together, we set clear and achievable goals. In an atmosphere of mutual trust, there is the challenge and support, the laughter and the tears involved in struggling to reach the self-direction, independence, and the peace we seek. The skills developed to survive are the foundation on which healing is built. Individuals and families are meant to move beyond survival and claim their right to thrive.
