Outside my practice, I enjoy family & friends, bicycling, nature, playing guitar, and performing as a singer-songwriter.
I’d be glad to talk with you for a few minutes on the phone as a courtesy - to discuss what you’re looking for and if I can help. We can meet once or twice (or more) to explore your areas of struggle, as well as the positive things about your life (you’re more than just your problems). We’d also take some time to clarify what you’re hoping to achieve, and if I can assist - given my background, expertise, and manner. Per the research, a good fit is so important for a successful psychotherapy or counseling outcome. If we agree to work together, we'd typically arrange weekly sessions for a period of time.

A core part of humanity is to feel belonging. Many people experience that most intensely during childhood from their family and friends. As we grow older we develop other relationships that give us that sense of belonging. When you experience injuries to those relationships it can leave yo feeling isolated and depressed. When those injuries happen during childhood it is referred to as Developmental Trauma. But trauma is not a life sentence, in fact what many people don't know is that Post-Traumatic Growth is more common than Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I work with individuals and families who want to understand trauma and grow.

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.
