I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to take positive steps towards growth and healing. This may include: processing traumas; developing self-awareness; learning about your strengths; and/or changing behaviors, thoughts, coping mechanisms, or interpersonal patterns which are no longer working for you.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
