Using psychodynamic, cognitive, and experiential techniques, I work with relationship, intimacy, communication, parenting and family issues, relief from stress, trauma (trained in EMDR), depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or career and life transitions.
When you find yourself emotionally overwhelmed, or behaviorally stuck facing what feels to be an unsolvable problem or issue, I bring compassion, empathy, and intelligence to my practice to help you through these difficulties and get back on track. This may occur in any one of the many arenas of your life, including your relationships, family, school, or work. I work with couples, adults, children, adolescents, and families providing a clear roadmap to behavioral change and emotional well-being. I am dedicated and accountable to you as we create a collaborative plan for meeting your needs.

I’ve been trained in psychodynamic, family systems and cognitive behviaoral therapies and call upon all of these modalities depending on the needs of the client.
Being human is a wondrous and challenging endeavor. Most of us walk around each day feeling inadequate, lost, anxious or depressed. And yet something inside us yearns for more. It takes tremendous courage to slow down and listen to this voice. To turn towards the painful feelings and try to understand them. I believe that with the right support, the hard stuff is actually the gateway to a life that is more purposeful, meaningful, integrated and peace-filled. In my office I create a warm and engaging space for clients to build self-awareness, heal old wounds and reflect on patterns that may not be helping them.

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.
