I work from the biopsychosocial model of health, which is essentially looking at how our biology (for example, genetics, physiology, physical injury), psychological factors (for example, emotions, beliefs, temperament), social factors (for example, cultural background, social support, family dynamics) interact.
I help individuals navigate the stress that may arise from changing jobs, starting and ending a relationship, struggles at work or the pressure that you may place on yourself. I can help you manage your emotions, to find effective ways to communicate and to assist you to regain enjoyment from things that are important to you.

My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, blending elements of somatic therapy, parts work (Internal Family Systems), attachment-based healing, and nervous system regulation.
You’re the strong one. High-functioning, self-aware, always showing up for others — but quietly battling burnout, self-doubt, and anxious relationships. You crave boundaries, clarity, and deeper self-trust. You want to stop spiraling in your head and start feeling safe in your body and relationships. You're not broken — you're exhausted from surviving. You want to feel steady, empowered, and finally free of patterns that no longer serve you — in love, work, and within yourself.

What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
