As a therapist, I work not as a "shrink" but an "enhancer," helping clients work through past problems, engage the challenges of the present, and move towards a more fulfilling future. I am client-focused rather than technique-focused because each client-therapist relationship is unique, and techniques should be employed selectively to optimize change and growth. That said, clients can expect that I will:
1) Act as a strong ally, adding emotional and intellectual energy to their efforts to change,
2) Provide insight and fresh perspective that takes them beyond their usual patterns of perceiving and responding to life circumstances.

My hope is to guide you to break free from whatever is holding you back to become who you truly are.

Welcome. I delight working alongside people of all ages individually, as a family, and with groups. At different life stages, we all navigate growth spurts such as starting school/college, jobs, relationships, moving into elderhood. Figuring ourselves out - our inner wishes, styles, patterns, relationships and how to enact them - often benefits from exploration, support and guidance. I bring experience in multicultural, multisystemic and multimodal problem-solving to these turning points that can include expressive, mindfulness, CBT, etc. I've particularly worked for years alongside children and the adults who care for them(c).

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.
