I am a Systemic Therapist specializing in Couple and Family Therapy, but also welcome individuals, including teens and children.
Are you and your partner struggling to communicate? Have you lost that spark in your relationship? Are you a parent who has lost connection with your teenager or child? Do you feel lost and overwhelmed? I decided to be a couple and family therapist because I know how hard relationships can be and that sometimes we need a little help. There is no shame in asking for help. We are all imperfect and are not born with a roadmap on how to navigate troubled relationships and family. I believe all people are capable of meaningful and transformational change. Let me help.

Using EMDR & other modalities, such a CBT, IFS & DBT, I work with adults, teens, and families, struggling with conflict, relationship issues, anger, depression, anxiety, divorce, violence, gender identity, family reunification, abuse, and PTSD.
Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. I see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Change is possible!

Do you feel alone, misunderstood, or like you don’t know people who “get” you? Are you bored with school or struggle to find work that is satisfying? These are common feelings for people experiencing the world through ADHD, giftedness, anxiety, dyslexia, or any of a number of neuro-differences. As a twice exceptional person myself (abbreviated "2e" meaning gifted + a learning hindrance), I recognize that these differences can cause people to feel like a misfit among neurotypical peers. I specialize in serving gifted and 2e teens and adults interested in better understanding and embracing their differently-wired brain.

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.
