I've been a therapist for over 35 years, generating great confidence in my expertise. My style is personal and interactive and I love meeting with people. I draw from contemplative and cognitive-behavioral theories, utilizing Internal Family Systems theory as the primary fuel for healing and restoration. I respect the role of spirituality in a person's life, and honor all religious traditions. I help my clients explore their current struggles through the lens of trauma, honoring the delicate balance between nature and nurture. My goal is to help an individual find peace through embracing their authentic Self.

I am a strong believer in Internal Family Systems (IFS) (level 1 trained) and am passionate about the model and exploring parts and your system in ways that make sense and are healing for you.
I'm a relationship therapist. I love relationships, creating connection and figuring out how and why things disconnect us. If you feel stuck in one of yours - family, friend, partner - I'd love to collaborate on what might get you unstuck. I know many of us say "communication" is the problem in our relationships. While that's true, it's often a lot deeper than just that and I help you understand what's underneath and work through it. i also specialize in grief and loss in relationships and in general. Healing is not linear and therapy can be helpful in processing loss and grief.

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.
