Couples and individuals seeking therapy deserve tremendous respect. In my work with relationships, I offer Emotion Focus Therapy (EFT) to help both partners to get unstuck from the repetitive patterns of emotional disconnect, that lead to fights or deadening silence. As a couples' therapist with an advanced training in Gottman therapy, I integrate it in my work when needed. My approach to individual treatment is Internal Family Systems (IFS) where you get to know your inner world, become more present, less reactive, and more capable of self-healing. I work both with monogamous and consensual non-monogamous relationships.

I use an integrative approach drawing from a variety of evidence-based practices dealing with a wide range of issues such as trauma, mood disorders, addiction, family and interpersonal conflict, and identity crises.
At times, life can lead us to feel unheard and overwhelmed. Often we may judge ourselves as being entirely alone, struggling to catch up with our constantly changing world. You are not alone. Everyone could use some extra help to overcome the challenges that come up in the pursuit of a fulfilling life and bridge their past experiences with newfound opportunities. Coming together is what provides us with faith in our ability to change and adapt to new circumstances and environments. By understanding who we are and where we come from, we strengthen our resolve and garner resilience.

But I do not limit the scope of my practice to specialties; my work extends through life's full spectrum of quandaries and quagmires.

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.
