Hi there, I'm Dean!
I provide therapy and support to parents and families dealing with addiction complicated by trauma, borderline personality disorder, or other psychiatric disorders. Addressing these challenges is hard work, so I approach those seeking assistance with deep respect and compassion. I bring playfulness, fun, and humor to our work together.
My focus
I support parents of teens and adult children struggling with addiction. I work with families where substance abuse is complicated by trauma, borderline personality disorder, or other mental illness. I provide family therapy when the teen or adult child is willing to participate and support parents with coping strategies when that's not possible.
My approach
I use a relational, family systems, and solution-focused approach. I work hard to understand each person's experiences, values, and choices. If you want my perspective, I'll outline the options I see, along with their pros and cons, and then support you without judgment in choosing the direction that feels right for you.
