Working with others to achieve their goals and become the best version of themselves, to take control of their emotional state, and learn tools to move forward on a path toward personal happiness are guiding principles in my work as a licensed marriage and family therapist.
Taking the first step to reach out and seek professional therapy services can be difficult and intimidating. Working through trauma, feelings of self doubt and worthlessness, negative self talk, navigating family and other interpersonal relationships, and managing your emotional state is often necessary in moving forward on a path of happiness and personal wellness. Therapy can be beneficial in many different ways in helping you take control of your life and learn to manage your emotional state in the healthiest way possible for you. Having the opportunity to share in your journey and work with you is a privilege that I value.

My blend of psychotherapy incorporates psychodynamic frameworks, life coaching, family systems, cognitive behavioral and solution focused approaches.
MY APPROACH TO THERAPY IS TO PROVIDE AN OPEN AND NON-JUDGING ENVIRONMENT SO YOU CAN EXPRESS YOURSELF FREELY. Therapy needs to be customized to fit your needs. It may be phone counseling, group, individual or couples. You may be experiencing anxiety, infidelity, depression, sexual abuse, relationship issues or some other manifestation that's affecting your life. I believe we get better with people and become worse in isolation, so let's work together to bring you a better tomorrow. My substantial experience, non-judging stance and directness allows the process to 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.
