I also provide family and couples therapy.
I provide research based therapeutic interventions. The treatment approach is dependent on the presenting problem; however, I typically work from a cognitive behavioral/interpersonal modality. I believe that our perspective, the way we view ourselves and the world, influences how we interact with our own thoughts as well as how we engage with others.

I welcome the challenges you bring because I recognize how hard it is to balance work, family responsibilities and any social commitments while hiding internal emotional pain or conflict.
Life provides us with many challenges that can lead to feeling overwhelmed or unsure of our ability to successfully cope. When we are faced with these challenges, either from depression, adjusting to life transitions or changes in our moods or behaviors, it takes courage for us to make the decision to ask for help through counseling.

I am passionate about working with clients who may be experiencing life transitions, existential concerns, anxiety, academic stress, or relationship (with family members, friends, romantic partner, etc) concerns.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to face the deep and dark areas of your story, come eye to eye with your fears, and believe that you deserve to live a life of peace and fulfillment. Having a counselor who will meet you where you are in your process and provide a safe environment, can help reduce nervousness associated with starting counseling services. I want to help you process life events, challenge destructive thinking, improve your ability to navigate difficult situations, and live a fulfilling life.

Family Therapy

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.
