My theoretical approach includes a variety of treatment modalities, including Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Participating in therapy takes courage. Looking at ourselves doesn't always come naturally, and as a result, we have parts of us that are terrified of what we might find. Quite the opposite has been my experience, in that, learning about ourselves is what sets us free from being stuck in a life we are unhappy with. While our old programming discourages us from looking at our vulnerabilities, the modern world we live in today demands that we take a deeper look at our unconscious patterns.

As a Collaborative Divorce Coach and Family Mediator, I have dedicated my work to assisting parents in the process of peacefully transitioning their families through their divorce with greater dignity and respect and less misunderstandings.
For over 25 years, my work has focused on individuals, couples and families. I focus primarily on the marital and parenting relationship. All relationships are fertile ground for personal growth and improved understanding of self. Relationships are places where emotional triggers are experienced which can cause feelings of stress and vulnerability. I help my clients understand how relationships are places where greater self awareness can be developed with an increased understanding into who you are and what is important. Finding greater peace lies in the ability to solve personal conflicts, honestly express feelings and develop greater understanding of others.

I also work with concerns regarding anxiety, depression, relationships, LGBTQ issues, masculinity and gender roles, identity development, life transitions, and family-of-origin.
With increased understanding of ourselves and our experiences comes an enhanced ability to intentionally navigate the world and live a more fulfilling life. Taking a dynamic approach to therapy, I work most effectively with clients who want to increase their understanding of why they do what they do, and how past relationships (both with themselves and others) affect current behavior, concerns, and "stuck points". It is with this new understanding that they can change patterns that are no longer working for them.

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.
