Are you ready to talk about it? I’m an experienced Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals, couples, teens (and their parents!) find the path to peace of mind. If you are not sure about therapy but sensing that something is in the way of you feeling ok, or maybe you know what the problem is but can't seem to find your way, I‘m ready with kindness, compassion and evidence-based practices to help you transform your life and relationships. I invite you to my cozy, judgment free office by the ocean (with parking!) or if you like, we can even talk as we walk along the beautiful Del Mar beach.

In addition to my clinical work I am a trainer with Triple P America, teaching clinicians how to work with parents struggling with behavior problems with their children and work with service members and their families as a Military Family and Lifestyle Counselor.
The strongest person is the one who knows when to ask for help. Everyone struggles, but why do some people handle life's challenges so well? My goal is to help my clients have a happy and fulfilling life. What this means is clearly different from person to person. My aim is to identify the behaviors that are keeping this from happening, implement these changes, practice them in real life and moving on. I am a short term-solution focused therapist. The more you do outside of therapy, the faster you can achieve the changes you desire.

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.
