With years supporting families in different settings, I shape therapy around steady, practical moves that respect each person’s pace and priorities. Whether we meet in Monterey or online, sessions are conversational and focused—short check-ins, clearer communication practice, and agreed‑upon steps to try between appointments. I pair coaching-style goal work with reflective moments so progress is measurable and emotionally safe, especially when transitions, addiction or caregiving strain relationships. This way of working tends to suit adolescents, parents and elders seeking reliable, doable change.
