I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, but also utilize family systems, trauma-focused and mindfulness based therapy, allowing a highly personalized approach tailored to each client.
Sometimes life's problems are too hard to manage on your own. It helps to talk with someone who can offer compassion, support and practical feedback to address personal challenges. In an interactive and empathetic environment, I work with people to increase their understanding of themselves, make important life changes and find a greater sense of happiness and fulfillment. Let me help you begin your journey to reaching your goals. Give me a call/email to see if we are a good fit.

I am trained in several clinical modalities including Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, Meditation and CBT.
Although grief is a natural response to loss, for many people learning to adapt to life without their loved one is challenging. When the loss is sudden, traumatic, or the loss of a child, the challenges can be even greater. It can be helpful to work with a therapist who understands grief and can help navigate the emotions and thoughts that accompany the loss.

In life there are so many questions that are unanswered or you might feel the need to figure out. Whether it be to find a career you’re successful in, establish steady relationships or develop new hobbies, this uncertainty may create a lot of stress in your life. For this reason, you may be struggling with feelings of not being good enough, which results in a sense of hopelessness and frustration about life and what it should be. We receive these messages from family, friends and social media that it is important to be accepted, but can simultaneously struggle with feelings of loneliness and inadequacy from trying to achieve it.

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.
