Our connection with our family, friends, and partners can inspire us to do great things, or it can leave us feeling empty, and unloved.
You’re feeling tired, anxious, and empty, hoping to find balance in your life. You want to change how you approach your daily stressors, but you don’t know how to even start. Finding your path through difficult challenges feels overwhelming most of the time. Regardless of the reason, you feel disconnected, lonely, and anxious. Are you hoping to find someone who will not only listen to you but also your story?

My approach combines various techniques that draw upon internal family system (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), polyvagal therapy, attachment-based, and mindfulness.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. Reaching out for support is often the hardest step and I commend you for being here. Together, we will explore the layers of your life that have caused burden, stress, or sadness and work together to release you from their hold. I provide a virtual space of safety, connection, open expression, autonomy, authenticity, and collaboration. With compassion and understanding, I work with each person to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

I provide individual, couple and family therapy.
Every now and then, we are faced with challenges that are difficult to handle on our own. Sometimes these can be very overwhelming and feelings of loneliness, confusion or depression enter into our lives. If this is you, and talking with your spouse, friend or family member isn't getting you where you'd like to be, it might be time to give therapy a try. I conduct therapy in a manner that enables you to understand present patterns, identify and remove constraints, and achieve better functioning and enhanced growth.

Your commitment to your family is recognized, and it would be a privilege to facilitate your child becoming the best version of themselves with you.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young teens (5-15) with neurodevelopmental disorders and behavioral challenges. The world is not designed for neurodiverse individuals, which may cause your child to struggle. I also appreciate working with their siblings and caretakers as I acknowledge it is a unique life experience of loving someone with a neurodevelopmental disorder. To address my client's goals, I utilize evidence-based interventions and techniques from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), pivotal response treatment (PRT), and mindfulness.

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.
