My clients come to me when they are experiencing an increase in stress and anxiety or are feeling sad, lonely or overwhelmed. Something in their life is not working or is suddenly more difficult than before. I help my clients develop an appreciation for their own stories and to make sense of uncomfortable feelings that prevent them from pursuing goals, that cause problems in relationships or hold them back from creating more satisfying and fulfilling social, family and work lives.

I focus on anxiety, depression, grief, and self-compassion, and I love supporting individuals/couples through life transitions. I have a passion for helping new and hopeful parents navigate the family-building process, (be it pregnancy, postpartum mental health, child/pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, guardianship/foster care, and the baby/toddler years). Non-traditional family structures are warmly welcome here! My background in early childhood development and parent/child relationships gives me a unique perspective and the ability to support those struggling through the adjustment period of creating a family.

My approach to therapy is integrative, informed by modalities such as IFS, family systems, narrative, imago, EFT, somatic resourcing, and psychodynamics.
When we face challenges in life such as difficulties in relationships, life transitions and/or past trauma resurfacing, we can experience isolation, anxiety, sadness and overwhelming feelings. Making an effort to take the first steps towards positive changes is not always easy. Together we will explore difficult emotions and experiences, gain clarity, see new perspectives, and develop ways of living a more balanced life with internal peace.

Walter offers both individual, couple and group treatment for “anticipated loss,” loss, grief and bereavement, depression and those separations associated with terminal and long-term chronic illness, the break-up of a long-term relationship, family concerns, addiction and substance abuse issues as well as palliative and end-of-life issues.
My approach in identifying, evaluating, assessing, ameliorating, modifying and/or providing a specific recommendation for adjustment to a disability, problem, or disorder of behavior, character, development, emotion, personality or relationships is by the use of verbal or behavioral methods with individuals, couples, families or groups utilizing a multimodal treatment approach. Logotherapy is the primary "psychotherapeutic orientation" which guides and directs all other treatment methods utilized in this private practice.

I see a diverse range of patients, and consider with them the significance of the many contexts ( family, community, cultural, society) that inform their individual experiences.
I believe that a secure and genuine therapeutic relationship can make a difference in your life by facilitating a path to expanding self-awareness and opening up new ideas about what is possible. I combine a warm and empathic attitude with careful listening and an active effort to understand more. Together, my patients and I clarify their goals, examine conscious and unconscious obstacles, and investigate new perspectives.

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.
