Everyone of us has a story that is filled with beauty and hurt. How do we hold the hope and pain of our own lives? How do we navigate the distress, desire, ambivalence that lives in us and in our relationships? How can we lead our anxiety rather than it leading us? How can we engage emotions in ways that bring healing and foster connection with self and others? It's my desire to join clients in understanding their own story - past, present, and future - to identify the places in which hope has been shattered, how it has been sought, and consider the way of restoration.

In my therapy practice, I focus on treating Trauma & Stressor-related disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders, and Suicidality. My approach is compassionate and personalized, aiming to empower individuals to navigate their challenges with strength and hope. As a systemically trained therapist I recognize that resilience & healing is not the sole responsibility of the individual. Resilience comes from both individual, social and environmental factors. With this mindset I support the holistic wellness of my clients and achievement of their identified goals. I love working with families, teens, couples and young adults.

After working with adolescents in various settings in my early career, I recognized the need to utilize the family and other support systems to affect more powerful and lasting change. I worked in several school settings where I developed systemic interventions that included family therapy, community outreach and service. I linked with the programs and universities training masters and PhD level clinicians in MFT. Upon retirement from the schools, I have continued seeing clients in private practice, where I now work with a diverse group of dedicated, energetic clinicians with shared commitment to positive outcomes.

As your therapist, I hope to help you experience long lasting recovery and healing. Through our work together, you will learn to develop a relationship with your thoughts and emotions rather than trying to control or push them away, how to change the way you cope with and handle stressors, and how to unpack how your life experiences, family dynamics, and relationships have affected your sense of self, emotional health and ability to feel as though you have choice in your life.

Finding a therapist is a deeply personal journey and it can be stressful and traumatizing to explain the very core of who you are to someone who may not “get it.” I aim to understand your perspective and embrace all aspects of you in a non-judgmental space. I recognize that every individual brings their own perception of their needs and the world around them, so I place substantial focus on identity, culture, and environment. I also believe that therapy is a great way to continue the conversation with ourselves and transition to a space where we are able to lovingly embrace all aspects of our lives.

Human beings are not born with a manual in their hands about how to face life; we just do the best we can. We try, we have questions, we look for answers, for change. But we often feel frustrated, angry, sad, and often, don’t know why? We search for happiness, but often don’t know where to find it. This is not an easy road, but I believe that we are resilient and capable of finding answers.

A common myth is that LMFT’s work only with families/couples; I love working with both of those as well as with individuals! I am passionate about working with motivated, open-minded clients willing to be creative in pairing to make shifts in thinking, the handling of emotions, and behavioral responses. I’m less focused on the specifics of the presenting problem and more on a person’s process when dealing with it. This means I feel competent in working with most presentations to include, but not limited to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, grief, relational conflict, mood swings, etc.

Codependency Therapists

What therapy types help with codependency problems?

Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?

Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?

Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?

One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
