Fred has over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families who struggle with the results of grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties.

Fred counsels from an ecosystemic perspective, which means that he accepts a client’s immediate family relationships and larger social context as being important resources in solving life’s problems. Primarily, Fred works from a structural/strategic orientation, which means that he assists couples and families in organizing their relationships so that resources can be brought to bear on the problems being presented. Goals for therapy are always established through collaboration with the client. The overall objective for therapy is always the successful resolution of the problems that are deemed the most important through that collaborative process.
