Therapy is a place where we get to focus on what's important to us: where we've been, where we'd ideally like to go, and everything in between. A confidential place just for you - free from the distractions of work, responsibilities, family and other people's agendas. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are at, and to support you in the ways that you need.

Valuing the therapeutic relationship as primary, I enjoy working with clients at deep structural levels to promote insight, healing and integration. Paramount to this process is bringing awareness and understanding to the ways in which past conditioning and experiences impact how we see and relate to ourselves and others. The goal is to facilitate ever more conscious, authentic and compassionate ways of relating to the self, others and the world. While my foundational training is in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I pull on a variety of techniques and approaches tailored to fit the specific needs of the individual, couple or family.

I draw on Internal Family Systems therapy, compassionate inquiry, mindfulness-based embodiment practices, and neuroscience, but ultimately, you hold the reins.
My work is rooted in a desire to support you in recognizing and resolving whatever holds you back, whether that's conscious or unconsciously held beliefs; internalized messages received from family, culture, or a sick society; grief, loss, anxiety or depression, or the challenge of major life transitions. I believe we each hold the wisdom and power to build and sustain meaningful careers, relationships, and lives, even amid circumstances and pasts that are beyond our control. There is so much within our control when we are ready to give ourselves to that.

Some of the interventions and models I have found helpful in my 14 years of experience are: Family systems, Cognitive-behavioral therapy, Mindfulness-based therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Dream analysis.
My practice is a living, evolving symbiosis of theory and heart. I believe each of us are on a unique path that is rich in potential and inevitably involves stumbling blocks. I see my role with therapy clients as a companion on the path. Together, we will investigate the stumbling blocks and decode their meanings, their purposes in propelling you further on your journey. We will also explore your aspirations and identify ways you can more fully embody your ideal image of yourself.

You can’t take it anymore. You feel yourself both falling apart inside, freaking out, and then shutting down. You try to live your daily life, but the issues of everyday life trigger memories, leaving you feeling emotionally flooded and agitated. You don’t want to continue the pain of the past into your future, but you find yourself having reactions out of proportion to what is happening. It feels unbearable. You want to be sure the people you love are protected and nurtured unlike how you felt growing up. You worry all the time and you feel paralyzed, as though nothing you do or try matters or makes a difference.

The pandemic was hard on all of us. If you feel like you need some support or help to desal the last couple of years, I'm here. We all need help occasionally. Learning how to approach and overcome these challenges shape us and allow us to experience life to the fullest. Therapy allows us to look at where we may be blocked and helps us find our own answers to living an authentic life. I discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life issues, understand difficult situations, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations that lead to a more authentic life.

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.
