General: I regard all therapeutic encounters as a partnership in which the client brings expertise in their individual strengths and abilities, and the therapist brings expertise in the treatment issues. This collaborative process identifies the outcome desired by the client(s) and develops a plan to achieve that outcome.

Child & Adolescent work: The context for child and adolescent work is almost always some degree of family therapy. Youth live their lives within a family system, and change involves support and follow through by all involved.

Anxiety Disorders: General anxiety, panic episodes, agoraphobia, and obsessive/compulsive problems can be quite debilitating. There is great hope for individuals who suffer from these issues. In most cases, long term resolution means full recovery and no need for ongoing medication.

Hypnosis & Ericksonian Approaches: Milton Erickson pioneered the use of clinical hypnosis, and has been a major force in the development of brief and strategic approaches. Michael Munion has been associated with the Milton Erickson Foundation since 1980, and has been faculty at International Congresses on Ericksonian Approaches since 1989. He is also a member of the Phoenix Institute of Ericksonian Therapy.
