Life can be a struggle. There are likely times when you likely don't know where to turn to sort things out. Perhaps it's a relationship or your work or an issue with family or just a feeling of being completely alone in whatever you are facing. Talking to someone who really listens to you and won't judge you can be very therapeutic. My style is to listen well, ask the questions that you might not have thought of asking, offer you different perspectives about your issues, and help you identify as many options as possible to find resolution and wholeness. I'm here to help you with that process.

My focus areas are individuals coping with life stressors, depression, anxiety, family relationships and other diagnosis and stressors that are impacting your daily functioning.
Have you been considering therapy? What’s stopping you from engaging in therapy? One of my goals is to destigmatize and normalize therapy, particularly in marginalized communities and expand access to therapy. As a therapist, my hope is to provide a safe, supportive, comfortable, judgement free environment that allows one to feel comfortable enough to open up and share their story and experiences.

As CT licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my approach is broadly humanistic, client-centered, systems oriented and trauma informed.
Does this sound familiar?: You've lost touch with the hopes and dreams that used to motivate and inspire you. An important relationship is in trouble: your relationship with your spouse, partner, child, or family is a repeated source of pain. You received feedback that you don’t seem yourself lately or that your behavior is alarming to those who care about you. The responsiveness of a therapist can help us acknowledge the deep urging and longings of our truer selves. Therapy can be a place where we chart a new course for our lives. “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

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.
