Life can feel very stressful right now due to Covid; many people feel scared and worried, helpless, and hopeless. All transitions and changes can be overwhelming and confusing; they include difficult family relationships, marital problems, divorce, affairs, parenting issues, academic pressures, career decisions, empty nest issues, midlife or existential crises, menopause, job-loss, retirement, aging, terminal illness, care-giving, grief/loss issues, loneliness, isolation, and mortality. If any of these resonate with you, counseling is a good option to help you feel better. Everyone wants to be heard, understood and validated.

My heritage in psychotherapy is derived from four main areas of training and experience: 1) formal professional training in cognitive-behavioral therapy,2) research/conceptual training in stress/coping 3) practicum work in community, family , and marital systems intervention, 4)exposure/course work in existential psychology. I have found the ever-broadening relevance of the stress concept to the entire health field has made old mind-body ideas obsolete.

Young adulthood is an exciting time of growth and change. It can also be a time of stress and uncertainty as you navigate new directions in your life. During this time, we often feel challenged by new phases in our work, school, and relationships. You are moving toward independence and forming your identity while dealing with questions about your future. You may be struggling with your sense of meaning and purpose, or afraid to disappoint your family . Old coping skills aren't as effective anymore, or you may be concerned about your ability to cope in healthy ways. Having a safe space to work through these issues is so important!

Our work together is centered around getting "Mom" (Partner and family ) to a place of calm, somewhere she can be hopeful, experience the joys of the "now"- encouraged.
There are times in life where we feel extremely alone, lonely, misunderstood, unhappy and beyond frustrated. Sometimes these overwhelming feelings can be about others; and sometimes about ourselves. These situations can arise because of: anxiety, change, depression, grief, conflict, and immense life challenges. At times, these problems are too much to face and bear alone. I specialize in helping clients through overwhelming problems and challenges. I collaborate with my clients to find changes they want to make, how they want to "see and live" their lives. My approach to therapy is a positive, hopeful, open approach.

I have been in the health/wellness field for 20+ years using strength based/holistic recovery approaches. Integrated/experiential therapy helps you re-claim your authentic spontaneous self, creating the life you wish to live. Addressing emotional/relational wounding truly opens the door to a more empowered and fulfilling life. You can increase your self-esteem and confidence, free yourself from depression/anxiety, negative self-talk, substance or process addictions, trauma triggers, and emotional reactivity in relationships. Sometimes therapy addresses current challenges/difficulties, sometimes it's about family of origin issues using inner child work, and/or trauma reduction work.

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.
