Over the past 30 years, I've worked as a family therapist, school counselor, crisis counselor, and hospital based social worker.
Therapy is a supportive place for you to investigate your inner world with compassion and curiosity. I'll work with you to develop inner resources so that you can live from your self energy which is calm, creative and intentional. I will support you in gaining insights and developing tools to heal any reactivity, shame, anxiety or hopelessness you've been carrying. You'll learn research-based practices that can improve your mood, your sense of self, and your relationships. Therapy practices I utilize include Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Gottman Relationship Practices.

I use Internal Family Systems therapy to help you recognize the parts that keeps you stuck and help you develop the awareness you need to break free from these patterns that no longer work for you.
Not every day is bad, but you're tired - tired of feeling stuck in the same recurring patterns and not knowing the way out. Sometimes, you feel anxious and worried "for no reason." You find yourself feeling obligated to say yes when you really mean no. You feel like you have to change yourself to fit in with the people around you or else you won't be accepted. The roller coaster of emotions becomes so overwhelming the only way to relax is through scrolling, substances, or Netflix, but you feel worse later. You worry there is something wrong with you but hope that there is relief from your anxiety and pain.

I specialize in building healthy relationships with your partner, children and family members. In life we develop negative coping skills in our family of origin that protect us in our youth but do not support us in forming healthy relationships in our present and future. I believe we can break these negative cycles through a combination of healing our past, increased awareness of our negative patterns and gaining tools to change these behaviors. I specifically work with adult children of alcoholics & addicts and family members currently faced with these challenges. I offer support, hope and empowerment during an extremely unmanageable time.

Relationships can be either invigorating or debilitating. We can create either type of relationship based on how we deal with our partner. Our feelings of depression and anxiety usually are associated with relationships in our life, whether our partner or family members and how we are raised. Looking at the causes of the unpleasant feelings are the first step in healing. The process then becomes finding solutions to the stuck patterns we find ourselves in. People do not exist externally from society but in conjunction with society.

I assist children, adolescents and their families in the journey of self-awareness. Children and adolescents are masters at showing us, or telling us, what their perceptions of their internal and external worlds are like. During play therapy, children create play or adolescents tell stories, that resemble the difficult experiences they are struggling with. The play or the conversation, becomes focused on the purposes of emotional healing. This leads to a reduction of symptoms (i.e. acting out and aggressive behaviors, somatic complaints, withdrawal or regression, etc.) and the reestablishment of balance in the child's sense of well-being.

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.
