I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family.
Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and emotional can be incredibly challenging, especially when you’re unsure of what’s happening with your body and mind. It’s natural to feel lost and uncertain about how to navigate these intense emotions. You might also be experiencing feelings of loneliness or misunderstanding in your relationship, particularly regarding intimacy issues. These struggles can deeply affect your connection with your partner. Imagine having someone who truly listens to your concerns and understands your story. I’m here to offer you that support and provide a safe space where you can share your feelings and experiences.

I offer couples and family therapy using Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Perhaps, a sudden event has happened in your life, leaving you feeling disoriented and confused. Your usual ways of coping are no longer working. You know things in your mind, but your body is reacting differently. By working with the nervous system, you will learn how to emotionally regulate and integrate past experiences so that they no longer control your life. You may be someone who 'feels off,' yet can't identify what it is. You know that you have gone through things in your life but think, "others have had it much worse." However, you are finally at a place where you want to feel better and sort out what that 'thing' is.

, & Family Therapist, I am committed to ADHD work with individuals.
In my various roles as husband, father, friend, and later-in-life diagnosed ADHD, I understand the difficulties we can all encounter in our lives. I enjoy engaging with adults (18+) who seek change and are motivated to explore and work with their ADHD-type brain. Achieving your preferred future and your version of success IS possible. I suspect you already have examples of your "wins", but also the set-backs that block you. We don't just focus on "organization", we explore: views of self, anxiety, lack of "self trust", addiction, and emotional regulation within ADHD. I welcome clients who are formally diagnosed, or self diagnosed!

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.
