Anxiety/Depression: is it interfering with a sense of purpose, success, hope for your future, relationships, and your job? Grief/unexpected losses of a loved one, friend or pet: holding you back from moving forward? Unresolved traumatic memories triggered when least expected, affecting relationships? Are children angry, acting out as they carry old and new worries? My 30+yr previous career in nursing also provides understanding to chronic illnesses, or sheds light on needed medical referrals. I also offer Immigration Psychological Evaluations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in a wide range of mental health and psychotherapy settings. As a therapist and as a person I know that no one is immune from experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and trauma. It can be difficult to reach out and perhaps even admit there is a problem. It takes courage to seek therapy and face your feelings. Therapy can be the beginning of a new journey to self-care.

I have noticed this method allows for individuating a clients unique experience of their world, culture, society, and family systems.
After over 19 years working in the emergency medical service field, as an emergency medical technician and paramedic, I realized how a healthy state of mind can have a significant impact on an individual's physical health. Throughout my career, I helped thousands of individuals in their most vulnerable state, primarily by helping them feel safe and secure as well as empathizing and showing sincere compassion. In doing this, I witnessed a significant decrease in their physical symptoms as well as their emotional state.

Relying on years of clinical experience, excellent consultation and the latest research, I use psychodynamic, family systems and narrative techniques to ensure that each session offers you a chance for a fresh perspective and deeper understanding.
Every significant life experience tells a story of loss and resilience. I specialize in issues of grief and loss associated with the loss of a loved one, sudden and traumatic loss, and losses related to unmet expectations in relationships. Through years of clinical and academic research, I have found strategies to help clients grieve and accept those losses in order to make clear choices and move forward.

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.
