Life is overwhelming. There's so much that we are navigating and have pressure to get everything right. The last thing we want to struggle with is the very thing that helps us endure the challenges of life: relationships, sex, & our bodies. Do you find yourself trying to keep everything up and watching your relationships falling by the wayside? Sex & Relationships are important. We have so many ideas about it stemming from media, friends, family, religion and our own sexual history, which can be very confusing and isolating. Sex therapy helps make sense of what you know about sex, sexuality, & relationships

Other areas of special interest include family systems work and the trauma of neglect.
Each client is unique. Crisis, transition, relationship, workplace problems, coming out, depression, anxiety, identity, parenting . . . the list goes on. Nonetheless, the three phrases I'm most accustomed to hearing first are: "I'm completely stuck." "I don't understand why I feel this way." and "I just don't see a way out of this." It is important that we begin exactly where you are. Some of the issues you're bringing to therapy may first need practical attention in order to alleviate your current distress. Subsequently, we'll look for connections to the source of your issues and begin the healing process.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, past traumas, and relationship issues? Do you deal with personal concerns, family, career and/or life difficulties? My approach is persons-centered, integrative, and collaborative. Modalities often used in our sessions are, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Solutions Focused Therapy, Talk Therapy, and Validation Therapy. I use a Strengths-Based Model that promotes healing, motivation, progress, and positive outcomes. It is often difficult to take the first step to reach out to explore therapy. It doesn't have to be.

Anxiety and Depression are on the rise in our current era of unprecedented stress. Do you need someone to talk to about your worries - someone well trained, compassionate and objective? It's often best not to burden friends and family who are not trained to offer more than love and support, also essential. And, of course, you may also want help accomplishing your personal goals. Perhaps your efforts are thwarted by remnants of the past - neglect, abuse, trauma.

My therapy orientation is grounded in evidence-based treatments for eating disorders - "gold standard" treatments that include CBT-E (specifically for eating disorders), DBT (adaptation for ED) and Family-Based Treatment (for teens).
Living with an eating disorder is about yearning to eat without burden, longing to look in the mirror without disgust, wishing to engage in life without the constant battle in your mind. A life of peace and acceptance feels impossible and the more you try to regain control, the more locked in you become. Peace is within reach. Recovery is possible. It’s just may be too hard to do it on your own. There are proven treatments that have been enhanced over decades, designed specifically to conquer eating disorders.

The techniques used are often simple, ranging from somatic work, kundalini yoga to psychodrama, internal family systems, and bioenergetics.
Do you want results? Are you finding that you keep getting in your own way? That your emotions, trauma, pain, old stories and anxiety are preventing you from living the life you are meant to live? Or maybe nothing is clicking for you, no matter how are hard you try. The good news is that there is always a way, a technique or subtle perspective that can and will shift you and your life. The catch? You need to be willing to step into the unknown and get uncomfortable.

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.
